Lyrics

DREAMS IN A BUCKET

by Koreen Perry and Jimmy Whiffen


GO FOR IT, MY DADDY TOLD ME,
GO ON OUT AND PLAY.
HE SAID IF YOU GOT THE WILL TO DO A LITTLE PRAYING,
THERE'S GOT TO BE A WAY.
HE SAID IF YOU GET THE PRIZE, IT'S A BONUS,
IF YOU DON'T THEN IT'S OKAY.
SO I'll KEEP MY LIST OF CRAZY THINGS TO DO...

Chorus:
I GOT ALL MY DREAMS IN A BUCKET,
AND I'M PICKIN' THEM OUT ONE AT A TIME,
PUTTIN' SOME BACK SO I NEVER RUN OUT
OF HAVING THINGS TO WISH FOR.
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO HIT REWIND AND TRY OUT SOMETHING NEW...
NOBODY'S GONNA TELL ME WHAT TO DO,
BECAUSE ALL OF THESE DREAMS ARE MINE...

OLD MAN JOE FROM DOWN THE ROAD JUST TURNED 75.
HE TOLD ME LAST WEEK HE WENT SKY DIVING,
AND HE CAME BACK ALIVE.
HE SAID IF YOU WAKE UP - IN THE MORNING,
GIVE THANKS FOR ANOTHER TRY.
I SAID I THINK YOU'RE CRAZY,
BUT YOU'RE COOL.
HE SAID...

(CHORUS)

NEVER TOO OLD TO IMAGINE BEING YOUNG...
BECAUSE IT DON'T MATTER, YOUNG OR OLD,
JUST HAVE A LITTLE FUN...

(CHORUS)

I'M GONNA BE A ROCK STAR...
GO ON A FANCY SHMANCY CRUISE...
DRINK CHAMPAGNE AT SUNRISE WITH A LITTLE ORANGE JUICE...
RIDE BAREBACK ON A STALLION IN THE MOONLITE ON THE SAND...
CHILL IN MY PAD IN BEVERLY HILLS,
GO ON A SHOPPING SPREE IN NEW YORK CITY,
PLAY MY GUITAR AS LOUD AS I WANT,
GET A FAST CAR THAT I CAN DRIVE, YEAH...YEAH
ALL OF THESE DREAMS ARE MINE...
ALL THESE DREAMS ARE MINE...YEAH
