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
