1
When I was a young man beginnin' my teens
2
How well I remember the lickin's I'd get 'cause I'd dream
3
My work never finished, barely begun
4
I couldn't get started till all of my dreamin' was done
5
I wouldn't shuck cotton', I wouldn't chop wood
6
And Pa would whip me and say that's for bein' no good
7
But I kept chasin' rainbows, finally I found
8
The great open range and the hills were my best dreamin' ground
9
When I left the home place our Mother did cry
10
She begged me to stay there and not say goodbye
11
My Pa told my Mother, your tears are in vain
12
Your son is a dreamer and the winds call his name
13
So don't try to stop him, let him move on
14
'Cause he won't stop his driftin'
15
Till all of his dreamin' is gone
16
Last night in a campfire a face I did see
17
A vision of Mother, she seemed to be callin' to me
18
For seventeen years now, I've drifted alone
19
But I wanna see Mother, tomorrow I start driftin' home
20
The last hill I've climbed now, and what do I see
21
An old run down shack where the ranch used to be
22
Then I see a tombstone and then see one more
23
I drifted too long from the old ranch house door
24
There's nothin' more left now but driftin', it seems
25
But I hope I can dream of the lickin's I'd get
26
'Cause I'd dream
