Hal Ketchum - Dreams of Martina lyrics

Another new day just came and went Working, I sail 'bout the wave, got spent Working like a dog, laying asphalt down On a two-lane black top leaving this town The red hot sun don't bother me now What gets me is when the day is done Cold dark house and an unmade bed Where the dreams of Martina roll around in my head Dreams of Martina, what can I say? Dreams of Martina stand in my way Tonight I'm gonna lay that heartache down Everybody tells me that I'm not myself Somebody tried to set me up with someone else Casual conversation and a moon-lit stroll It's the perfect situation and my blood runs cold My friends can't see what's bothering me I guess they wanna know me like I used to be Maybe liven up the party with my lampshade on Before dreams of Martina turned my heart to stone Dreams of Martina, what can I say? Dreams of Martina stand in my way Tonight I'm gonna lay that heartache down The wind and rain don't cause me no pain I guess I've grown accustomed to the same ol' thing It appears I might suffer from the lack of a king But the dreams of Martina won't let me sleep Dreams of Martina, what can I say? Dreams of Martina stand in my way Tonight I'm gonna lay that heartache down Tonight I'm gonna lay that heartache down Dreams of Martina!
