CAPO #2 C C C C
C
Everybody's looking for some way in,

    F                      C
I'm looking for some way out.
I've been wasting my time, standing in line,
   G                        C 
If this is what it's all about.

C
All I got is a job that I don't like,

       F                       C
And a woman that don't understand.
So tonight at the bar, I'll get in my car,
    G                         C
And take off for the Promised Land.
*Chorus*
F                                                C    Cmaj7    C
Drinkin' and dreamin', knowing damn well I can't go,

     G                                 C    Cmaj7    C
I'll never see Texas, L.A. or ol' Mexico.

    F                                            C    Cmaj7    C
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind.

  G                                                 C    Cmaj7    C
Drink till I'm dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mind.
*break* G G C C
C
This suit and this tie, is just a disguise,

F                 C
This ain't really me.
Some people are born to be tied down,
     G                      C
Some people are born to be free.

C
When I look down the road, she don't know,

F                      C
How it gets under my skin.
She's got my body, but my heart and soul,
    G                      C
Are out there riding the wind.
*Chorus*
F                                                C    Cmaj7    C
Drinkin' and dreamin', knowing damn well I can't go,

     G                                C    Cmaj7    C
I'll never see Texas, L.A. or ol' Mexico.

    F                                           C    Cmaj7    C
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind.

  G                                                 C    Cmaj7    C
Drink till I'm dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mind.
*Chorus*
F                                                C    Cmaj7    C
Drinkin' and dreamin', knowing damn well I can't go,

     G                                C    Cmaj7    C
I'll never see Texas, L.A. or ol' Mexico.

    F                                           C    Cmaj7    C
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind.

  G                                                 C    Cmaj7    C
Drink till I'm dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mind.
