pipe dream

Singer: john williamson

do what you wanna do

work when you wanna work

you're your own boss

doin' it your own way

it's the last frontier

away out here

where dreamers and good old drifters go

got a bit of red dirt with m' claim on it

an opal down there with m' name on it

a little bit of black with a flame on it

i see

it's a pipe dream

but it's the right dream for me

do what you wanna do

sleep when you wanna sleep

you're your own boss

doin' it your own way

yeah

and you'll get lost

tie a ribbon 'round a buddawood tree

a hundred dusty tracks all look the same

got a half-dead dodge with a tray on it

a shearers' cot

it just lays on it

i might even spend a few days on it

mmm

it's a pipe dream

but it's the right dream for me

got a thunderbox with a view from it

the sun hits the seat

i feel warm from it

paradise

well not far from it

mmm
