Southbound Train

Verse 1 Got my head in the clouds, they tell me to come down, But my dreams, they call me, where lost souls are found. Told to walk the line, in the cold light of day, But my heart’s up in the sky, where the dreamers play. Chorus Oh, I’m dreaming, against the grain, In a world of dreams, I escape my pain. They tell me to wake, but I'm gone again, Riding on my dreams like a southbound train. Verse 2 Sun’s burning high, and the workday's long, But in my mind, I’m singing my own song. They say it's just a fantasy, won't lead me nowhere, But in the depths of my mind, I find you there. Chorus Oh, I’m dreaming, against the grain, In a world of misery, I escape my pain. They tell me to wake, but I'm gone again, Riding on my dreams like a southbound train. Bridge The real world’s tough, got its hooks in deep, But my dreams are mine, and mine to keep. They can chain my hands, but not my soul, In my waking dreams, I’m whole. Outro So let me dream, just let me be, In my restless mind, I find release. Life’s hard lines won’t cage my mind, In my dreams, it’s peace I find. Chorus Oh, I’m dreaming, against the grain, In a world of misery, I escape my pain. They tell me to wake, but I'm gone again, Riding on my dreams like a southbound train. [Instrumental] Bridge The real world’s tough, got its hooks in deep, But my dreams are mine, and mine to keep. They can chain my hands, but not my soul, In my waking dreams, I’m whole. [Instrumental] Bridge The real world’s tough, got its hooks in deep, But my dreams are mine, and mine to keep. They can chain my hands, but not my soul, In my waking dreams, I am whole. Like a southbound train [Instrumental] Chorus Oh, I’m dreaming, against the grain, In a world of misery, I escape my pain. They tell me to wake, but I'm gone again, Riding on my dreams like a southbound train. [Instrumental] [End]
