Dreamer

Hey, I've been a drifter

Almost all my days

The ways of a gambler

I have made them my ways

Oh, I've been a great dreamer

Yeah, I thought I done fine

For I have been dreamin'

A long, long time

But I believe in my dreams

And if they ever come true

I hope it makes no one jealous

I hope it makes no one blue

I'll just say I deserve it

Oh, that makes it all fine

For I have been dreamin'

A long, long time

Oh, I've paid my dues

I've sung my blues

I've traveled lonely miles

I've loved and lost

And paid the cost

For the dreamin' in my mind

So here's to all dreamers

I know you know who you are

And I hope that you find

The pathway to your star

Hey, I hope you get drunk on

Your own special dream wine

For I know you've been dreamin'

A long, long time

Yeah, I know you've paid your dues

You've sung your blues

You've traveled lonely miles

I know you've loved and lost

And paid the cost

For the dreams in your mind
