In Your Dreams

Don't cry for me, I'm not leaving

Soon as you fall back to sleep, I'll

Be waiting right here in your dreams

In your dreams, in your dreams

You learned to drive at sixteen in a pickup truck

It was your dad's, all covered in mud

Couple dents in the back, to see it was nothing much

But wheels to the road was a place of love

Your daddy won it on a game of cards

A back room where he played his part

The room high on whiskey and them cheap cigars

He took the room upon a full house, beat the odds

And then what was is a daydream, taking it back

And see the seat where he held you, baby on lap

He held you close in a blanket, cradled and wrapped

Off to a place by the pines that he circled on maps

Years after that, dad taught you to drive

The one who held you real close with the same brown eyes

That was a father and a figure who lived for little times

In the dust, in that pickup truck, out for a drive like

Don't cry for me, I'm not leaving

Soon as you fall back to sleep, I'll

Be waiting right here in your dreams

In your dreams

Don't cry for me, I'm not leaving

Soon as you fall back to sleep, I'll

Be waiting right here in your dreams

In your dreams, in your dreams

You kissed a boy at fifteen at the high school dance

Caught him looking like he's taking a chance

You glossed your lips and like that, he was there in your arms

Holding you soft for a second before making a pass

He took you walking through the cold night air

Felt his gold eyes stare, such a perfect pair

Where he turned you on the spot saying, "Hold right there"

And there he dropped to one knee like he's sending a prayer

And slowly pulls out a Haribo ring, red as your hair

He asked to marry you, if only for the night

Like, "We could be lovers 'cause now it's feeling so right

I can see us together, we'll weather the little fights

My heart is speaking, it says you're my light"

Your daddy picked you up in his pickup truck

A couple dents, all covered in mud

You said goodbye to the boy, his tears start to flood

The wedding of what was

Don't cry for me, I'm not leaving

Soon as you fall back to sleep, I'll

Be waiting right here in your dreams

In your dreams

Don't cry for me, I'm not leaving

Soon as you fall back to sleep, I'll

Be waiting right here in your dreams

In your dreams, in your dreams

Don't cry for me, I'm not leaving

Soon as you fall back to sleep, I'll

Be waiting right here in your dreams

In your dreams, in your dreams
