I really did have the dream...

lyrics

I had a dream a friend called me up from the war
Said he was lying out on the desert floor
And every time the tanks rolled by he just let out a sigh
And dreamed of the days when he had stars in his eyes
On Valentine's Day with the bartender buying his girl drinks
And the drummer playing a drumset we all know stinks
He said he didn't change, he just rearranged
The way he always thought about his name

So you're moving away and marrying a cop
When we were young and dumb would she be there to stop
All of our actions and what would be your reaction
If it were her facing staring back at all our satisfaction
What are you gonna do now that all you have is time?
How you gonna go on loving her when her eyes don't shine?
And you've got memories of old days and a fifty cent raise
And she's out on Lady's Night at the firing range

Ah, but look at me I don't even have a job
I just sit around a write down every little thought
That comes in my head when I should be working instead
To make my dreams come true before I end up dead
At least you have your loves, I only have me
I chased someone who says she's still got a lot to see
I got no where to go and nothing to be done
I'm staying still but old memories got me on the run
