dancehall dreamer

i found myself in bar room

doing the things i ought not to

watching life as it slowly passed me by

i was holding onto lovers

and disregarding others with my lies

living my whole life like this

i guess its risky business

some folks say that i won't last too long

and i can't say i blame them

for saying what their saying

'cause right now i'm just holding on

i'm just an old dancehall dreamer

living my life in the past

holding onto dreams and them slow moving trains

and i don't know how long i can last

so i called out to jesus

said lord i really need you

you've got to carry me for a while

i've been running too long

singing them old tired songs

as wheels keep on turning out the miles

like i said i'm just a dreamer

got to keep believing someday things will go my way

i'm just running from the devil

got one foot on the pedal

while the other's laid up in the grave

i'm just an old dancehall dreamer

living my life in the past

holding onto dreams and them slow moving trains

and i don't know how long i can last
