River of Dreams

On a dark December morning When the sun refused to shine Spent another sleepless night Got so much on my mind Think I finally know what's wrong I think I've gotta leave this place behind So I said wake up, Linda, I've had a dream I dreamed we moved away from here To a place I'd never seen Where the nights were long and cold And the air was fresh and clean. And there we were standing Underneath the western sky Beside a home we built ourselves Way up in the mountains high And we lived happy there, just you and I On a river of dreams There's no need to worry now Cause I've got a plan We don't need this modern world I'm not a modern man We're gonna get ourselves off these city streets We're gonna get back on the land There's a whole lot of people out there Feel just like you and me They'd love to pack their leavin' trucks And say goodbye to all their misery What'd ya say we pack up that Camaro, honey And chase the sun until we're free And if I could I'd lift you up on angel wings We'd fly away and never worry about a thing We'd know the joy and riches a simple life can bring On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams So get your things together now I'll be getting mine I've finally got the feeling girl The sun is gonna shine You know people don't run out of dreams People just run out of time Let's find that place out there Underneath the western sky We'll build a home ourselves Way up in the mountains high We'll live happy there 'til the day we die On a river of dreams And we'll have stars to wish on every single night We'll build a fire and make love by candlelight We'll do our moondance 'til we get it right On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams I can see us standing by the river Holding hands beside the river
