Living On A Dream Lyrics

Laying in an alley outside Murphy's bar

Covered up with newspaper

Blowin' away from passing cars

Spent my fortune on misfortunes

Thinking I'd win the game

Life has its ups and downs

But it all comes out the same

You can bet all your money

On a horse guaranteed to win

Meet new people make new friends

But it all goes away in the end

Living on a dream losing steam

Praying for forgiveness of my mortal sins

Too poor to go to work

All for a days pay

Tax man come and he take it all away

I'll just lay here on the cold cold ground

Waiting' for the man to come around

You can bet all your money

On a horse guaranteed to win

Meet new people make new friends

But it all goes away in the end

Living on a dream losing steam

Praying for forgiveness of my mortal sins

My tomorrows have been spent today

Love I thought I knew

Has never really come my way

Thank you for the quarter

I'll put toward my beer

In a brown paper bag

Hiding my shame of today

You can bet all your money

On a horse guaranteed to win

Meet new people make new friends

But it all goes away in the end

Living on a dream losing steam

Praying for forgiveness of my mortal sins
