Livin' and Dreamin'
Too
much fun, not enough sleep
Friends
all said there would come a time
I'd
find a country girl and make her mine
Then
all my runnin' would come to an end
And
I'd finally have some time to spend
Livin' and
dreamin'
Instead of drinkin'
and schemin'
Lovin' some girl
for the rest of my life
No more runnin'
and hidin'
It was time to
stop slidin'
And make some pretty
girl my wife
I
listened for while
Just
to make 'em smile
But
the road kept callin' me
And
those breezes by the sea
Drew
me away again and again
I
didn't yet have the time to spend
Livin' and
dreamin'
Instead of drinkin'
and schemin'
Lovin' some girl
for the rest of my life
No more runnin'
and hidin'
It was time to
stop slidin'
And make some pretty
girl my wife
But
then that ol' truck broke down
In
a sleepy seaside town
And
that beauty caught my eye
Under
a sun soaked sky
My
broken heart was on the mend
And
I thought I'd make some time to spend
Livin' and
dreamin'
Instead of drinkin'
and schemin'
Lovin' some girl
for the rest of my life
No more runnin'
and hidin'
It was time to
stop slidin'
And make some pretty
girl my wife
She
took my hand
Led
me across the sand
Held
her arms around me tight
And
said boy, after tonight
I'm
gonna teach you how to do it just right…
Livin' and
dreamin'
Instead of drinkin'
and schemin'
Lovin' some girl
for the rest of my life
No more runnin'
and hidin'
It's time to
stop slidin'
We've got plenty
of time in this life…
Maybe someday
you'll make me your wife
Five
years later
My
life couldn't be greater
Now
here's the big shocker
I'm
sittin' here at soccer
Watchin'
my daughter havin' fun
Holdin'
hands with my baby in the sun
Livin' and
dreamin'
No more of drinkin'
and schemin'
Lovin' my girls for
the rest of my life
No more runnin'
and hidin'
I finally
stopped slidin'
And made that pretty
girl my wife
Yeah this
country boy is beamin'
Now that I'm
livin' and dreamin'
