roger creager - storybook (live) lyrics

[verse 1]
sometimes i sit in my backyard
i kick back and drink iced tea
i stare all the way to the ocean
and i dream of how it would be
if i were a ship captain somewhere
or an old fashioned sailor at sea
or a stowed away pirate just down below hiding
and praying the law don’t find me

[pre+chorus]
maybe i’d sail from nantucket
chasing the great white whale
oh without a sound, i’d run him aground
and bring old ahab the tail
yeah i’d show old ahab his tail

[chorus]
yeah, but i’m not a sailor, i’m just a man
stuck here in the promised land
well, i’m living proud and i’m living free
and i’m a dreamer and it’s all i got
yeah, but friends, this is my last shot
and i hope someday
you drеam about me
[verse 2]
sometimes i drеam i’m a cowboy
around 1949
i’d cross the border on horseback
with a real close buddy of mine
i’d know we’d run from trouble
but then i’m sure it’s what we’d find
’cause when you’re out of the frying pan into the fire
who cares what you leave behind

[pre+chorus]
and i know i’d fall in love down there
well i bet i would wind up in jail
’cause when you’re fallin’ in love with a rich man’s daughter
who’s gonna go your bail
yeah i hate them mexican jails

[chorus]
yeah, but i’m not an outlaw, i’m just a man
stuck here in the promised land
well, i’m living proud and i’m living free
and i’m a dreamer and it’s all i got
yeah, but friends, this is my last shot
and i hope someday
you dream about me
[verse 3]
see, i’d love to go rafting the water
i’d take a ride on the mighty mississipp’
where i could float around from town to town
i’d cause trouble then i’d give ’em the slip

[pre+chorus]
that river could take me back
to the days of young huck finn
where i could sleep all day and i’d smoke all night
and play tricks on old jim
oh man, i bet i’d like old jim (yeah, i bet i would)

[chorus]
yeah, but i’m not an runaway, i’m just a man
stuck here in the promised land
well, i’m living proud and i’m living free
and i’m a dreamer and it’s all i got
yeah, but friends, this is my last shot
and i hope someday
you dream about me
hey, i hope one day
you read about me

[hook]
sometimes i sit in my backyard
i dream of how it would be
one, two, three, uh!
[verse 4]
see, i’d love to go rafting the water
i’d take a ride on the mighty mississipp’
i’d float around from town to town
i’d cause trouble then i’d give ’em the slip

[pre+chorus]
and that river would take me back
to the days of young huck finn
so i could sleep all day and i’d smoke all night
and play tricks on old jim
oh man, i bet i’d like old jim (yeah)

[chorus]
i’m not an runaway, i’m just a man
i’m stuck here in the promised land
where i’m living proud and i’m living free
well, i’m a dreamer and it’s all i got
oh, so friends, this is my last shot
and man i hope someday
you dream about me
