The Dreamer - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]
Written by:Marty Robbins[00:00:01]
When I was a young man beginnin' my teens[00:00:11]
How well I remember the lickin's I'd get cause I'd dream[00:00:18]
My work never finished barely begun[00:00:28]
I couldn't get started till all of my dreamin' was done[00:00:35]
I wouldn't shuck cotton' I wouldn't chop wood[00:00:46]
And pa would whip me and say that's for bein' no good[00:00:53]
But I kept chasin' rainbows finally I found[00:01:04]
The great open range and the hills were my best dreamin' ground[00:01:11]
When I left the home place our mother did cry[00:01:22]
She begged me to stay there and not say goodbye[00:01:29]
My pa told my mother your tears are in vain[00:01:36]
Your son is a dreamer and the winds call his name[00:01:43]
So don't try to stop him let him move on[00:01:52]
'Cause he won't stop his driftin'[00:01:59]
Till all of his dreamin' is gone[00:02:03]
Last night in a campfire a face I did see[00:02:14]
A vision of mother she seemed to be callin' to me[00:02:21]
For seventeen years now I've drifted alone[00:02:32]
But I wanna see mother tomorrow I start driftin' home[00:02:39]
The last hill I've climbed now and what do I see[00:02:50]
An old run down shack where the ranch used to be[00:02:57]
Then I see a tombstone and then see one more[00:03:04]
I drifted too long from the old ranch house door[00:03:11]
There's nothin' more left now but driftin' it seems[00:03:20]
But I hope I can dream of the lickin's I'd get[00:03:27]
'Cause I'd dream[00:03:34]
