You know I sure can dream, don't want to go to sleep
'Cause I've been workin' in corners all alone at night
Pullin' down whiskey keepin' my eyes away from the lights
But I think I'll stop off here in Lafayette
I've never let go of love till I lost it in my dreams
At my back door there's a porch light that's shinin'
Pullin' down whiskey keepin' my eyes away from the lights
I don't want to go to sleep 'cause I sure can dream
I've never let go of love till I lost it in my dreams
I would've stopped to phone you but I'm almost home
'Cause I've been workin' in corners all alone at night
I don't want to go to sleep 'cause I just might dream
Pullin' down whiskey keepin' my eyes away from the lights
Just holdin' that stranger's hand
I just don't mind livin' here by myself
I'll never be a fool but I will gamble foolishly
If I leave it on
Lord I didn't have a word to say
And these city streets at five in the mornin'
I'm stronger now, there was a man in my hometown
I'll never be a fool but I will gamble foolishly
I don't want to go to sleep 'cause I just might dream
I've never let go of love till I lost it in my dreams
He sang so pretty I'm glad he turned my head around
Lord and have me another round
Houston, she's just around the corner
I'll never be a fool but I will gamble foolishly
'Cause I've been workin' in corners all alone at night
I don't want to go to sleep 'cause I just might dream
But I'd forgotten how to play a one night stand
