Down the Dream

[Intro]
Mmm
Whoo, mmm

[Verse 1]
I stopped to lean
At the entrance to the highway
On the leg of an underpass
It was the place that George caught up with me
We stood there drinking his pint of freedom
Down the dream

[Verse 2]
What I do is I invest my soul in company
And I bet that big exchange
Reason to go
And Seconal deranged
And there ought to be something to fall back on
Maybe a knife
Or a career
Mmm, so heavy
In that dying time of year
Get a little bit of that dying time of year

[Bridge]
I left it all on the landlord's stove
And I'm drove down through Texas heat
Threw my piano lessons in the street

[Verse 3]
Oh George is a colored guy
And I'm, I'm a white man
But George could go for me
George was wondering if I might
You know, uh, go for him?
Go to Lou–
Lose it all, lose it all, lose it all, lose it all, lose it all
With my banjo on my knee
After a man that said
George, you wanna know where I live?
George, you want my phone number?
George, I'm out to lunch down the dream
