Lyrics

Someone Else's Dream

It don't matter what you say
I can't take it one more day
I'm packin' up my bags and goin' away
It's not that you don't treat me kind
I know we've had some real good times
And it would be much easier to stay
But all my life I've heard it said
Do what's right - you'll get ahead
And so I've never tried to live for me
I'm tired of tryin' to be so good
Tired of doin' what I should
Tired of livin' someone else's dream

Every day it's just the same
Go downtown and play the game
And when the day is over go back home
I ain't sayin' you're to blame
But this life has got to change
I've got to find a dream that's all my own
So I'm askin' one last time
Come with me - we'll be just fine
The whole world's waitin' just for us to see
I'm tired of tryin' to be so good
Tired of doin' what I should
Tired of livin' someone else's dream

You wanna be a high class lady
Wanna act sophisticated
I wanna be somewhere where I can breathe
I'm tired of things that just don't matter
Tired of tryin' to climb that ladder
Tired of livin' someone else's dream

Every day it's just the same
Go downtown and play the game
And when the day is over go back home
I ain't sayin' you're to blame
But this life has got to change
I've got to find a dream that's all my own
So I'm askin' one last time
Come with me - we'll be just fine
The whole world's waitin' just for us to see

I'm tired of tryin' to be so good
Tired of doin' what I should
Tired of livin' someone else's dream
Tired of livin someone else's dream
