I found myself in bar room Doing the things I ought not to Watching life as it slowly pa**ed me by I was holding onto lovers And disregarding others with my lies Living my whole life like this I guess its risky business Some folks say that I won't last too long And I can't say I blame them For saying what their saying 'Cause right now I'm just holding on I'm just an old Dancehall Dreamer Living my life in the past Holding onto dreams and them slow moving trains And I don't know how long I can last So I called out to Jesus
Said Lord I really need you You've got to carry me for a while I've been running too long Singing them old tired songs As wheels keep on turning out the miles Like I said I'm just a dreamer Got to keep believing someday things will go my way I'm just running from the devil Got one foot on the pedal While the other's laid up in the grave I'm just an old Dancehall Dreamer Living my life in the past Holding onto dreams and them slow moving trains And I don't know how long I can last [repeat]
