San Angelo - Marty Robbins[00:00:02]
Written by:M. Robbins[00:00:03]
When I was a young man beginnin' my teens[00:00:11]
How well I remember the licking'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 dreaming was done[00:00:35]
I wouldn't shuck cotton I wouldn't chop wood[00:00:45]
And then pa would whip me and say that's for being no good[00:00:52]
But I kept chasin' rainbows finally I found[00:01:02]
The great open range and the hills were my best dreaming ground[00:01:09]
When I left the home place our mother did cry[00:01:19]
She begged me to stay there and not say goodbye[00:01:26]
My pa told my mother your tears are in vain[00:01:33]
Your son is a dreamer and the winds call his name[00:01:40]
So don't try to stop him let him move on[00:01:49]
'Cause he won't stop his drifting[00:01:56]
Till all of his dreaming is gone[00:01:59]
Last night in a campfire a face I did see[00:02:09]
A vision of mother she seemed to be calling to me[00:02:17]
For seventeen years now I've drifted alone[00:02:27]
But I wanna see mother tomorrow I start drifting home[00:02:34]
The last hill I've climbed now and what do I see[00:02:44]
An old run down shack where the ranch used to be[00:02:51]
Then I see a tombstone and then see one more[00:02:58]
I drifted too long from the old ranch house door[00:03:05]
There's nothing more left now but drifting it seems[00:03:14]
But I hope I can dream of the lickin's I'd get[00:03:21]
'Cause I'd dream[00:03:27]
