Dead Men Got No Dreams

Dead Men Got No Dreams - Jerry Jeff Walker

Go ahead and live your life

And love it every day

'Cause if you don't I think you'll see

How it slowly slips away

Till one day you wake and find

All your dreams committed suicide

And there you go

You got a dead man on your hands

Now everyone has other lives in mind

Once they've taken care of needs

But won't it blow their minds

How quickly time flies

And that's all to life that there's goin' to be

Bridge

So be careful what you pretend to be

Choose it well what you think you're goin' to be

'Cause what you pretend is exactly what you'll be

We all admire a man who's free

One who dares to speak his mind

A friend who disagrees without apologies

But I've heard that leads to jail sometimes

So be careful what you pretend to be

Choose it well what you think you're goin' to be

'Cause what you pretend is exactly what you'll be

Bridge

Now if you've planned to live your life just so

A simple road without a bend

As you walk that line I think you'll find friend

There's changes down the road you didn't figure in

Go ahead and live your life

And love it every day

'Cause if you don't I think you'll see

How it slowly slips away

Till one day you wake and find

All your dreams committed suicide

And there you go

You got a dead man on your hands

You now you got a dreaman

And pecardo dream for don't know

For paracoy dream ya

You now you got a dream

You now you got a dream

You now you got a dream

And pacardo dream for don't know

You know you got to dream
