Nothing to Do But Dream

I remember, I remember something about who we could be
He won't find out about it till she's safe down in the mud

With nowhere to go but to sleep

And there's nowhere in town

And I don't want to leave, I'd just have to come back again
I remember, I remember something about who we could be
I would shut my eyes but I've got promises to keep
I remember, I remember something about who we were
I would shut my eyes but I've got promises to keep
I've got nowhere to go but to sleep
I took my sister to the river and I came back alone
I've got nowhere to go but to sleep
And my daddy is suspicious but I know how he does
And I'm sitting in town on the proceeds of my crimes
I've got nowhere to go but to sleep
And this sickness that's on me is settling in my bones

I can't go crazy and I can't get sane
I've had nothing to do for years but dream
I got reckless and I broke my baby's rule
I would follower her down but I've got promises to keep
I've had nothing to do for years but dream

I remember, I remember something about who we were
I can get to in my broken car
'Cause most of my friends are gone down the line

I would shut my eyes but I've got promises to keep
And I'm sick and restless with the wandering blues
