well the suns too bright
and the mountains are way too far
and there is no where in town i can get to in my broken car
i've got no where to go but to sleep
i would shut my eyes
but i've got promise to keep
well i can't go crazy
and i cannot get sane
and i don't want to leave
i'd just have to come back again
i've got nowhere to go
but to sleep
i would shut my eyes but i've got promises to keep
well i remember i remember something about her we won
i remember i remember something about her we could
i've had nothing to do for years but dream
i've had nothing to do for years but dream
well i done got reckless and i broke my babies rules
and i'm sick and restless with the wandering blues
most of my friends have gone down the line
i'm sitting in town on the proceeds of my crimes
i've got nowhere to go but to sleep
i would shut my eyes
but i've got promises to keep
i took my baby to the river and i came back alone
this sickness its only a settling in my bones
and my daddy's suspicious but i know just how he does
he wont find out about it till shes safe in the mud
with nowhere to go but to sleep
i would follow her down but i've got promises to keep
well i remember i remember something about her we were
i remember i remember something about her we could be
i have nothing to do for years but dream
i would had nothing for years but dream
