The highway was teasing me With promises and visions of a country unseen In a black limousine For the better part of my twenties On the corner of this dirty street A decade in the making Just a loser on two tender feet Saying dreams come true Dreams come true Dreams come true Dreams come true
She wasn't having anything No birds or any bees, girl Don't go shooting all your dogs now Just cause one's got fleas I'll bite what turns you sour, baby I've got miles per hour late Make up your mind You never know what you might find
When dreams come true Dreams come true Yes, they do Dreams come true Dreams come true Dreams come true Yes, they do Dreams come true
Punch the clock, baby on the nightstand You close your eyes, waiting for the Sandman Spend your life, bracing for the crash land You forget, baby it's a dreamland (Baby, it's a dreamland)
A natural believer I don't carry any bones If you see things a little different I'm not casting any stones You're taking it for granted I've got the right to speak my mind
I'll overcome the dark Just like the dead, the lame, the Leper and the blind Like Lazarus or the mother of Peter's wife
Punch the clock, baby on the nightstand You close your eyes, waiting for the Sandman Spend your life, bracing for the crash land You forget, baby it's a dreamland
Take a chance, underneath the streetlight Cross my heart, everything is alright
I don't waste my time on "Where do I park the car?" I don't stand in line And it's treated me Alright so far
If dreams come true I get to drink the cup But one fine day We'll find a better way (Gonna have a lot to say)
Punch the clock, baby on the nightstand You close your eyes, waiting for the Sandman Spend your life, bracing for the crash land You forget, baby it's a dreamland
Take the chance, underneath the streetlight Cross my heart, everything is alright In the blackness of the night Everything is alright
