Everybody's looking for someway in
I'm looking for someway out
I've been wasting my time, standing in line
If this is what it's all about

All I've got is a job that I don't like
And a woman that don't understand
So tonight in the bar, I'll get in my car
And take off for the promise land

Drinkin' and dreamin', knowing damn well I can't go
I'll never see Texas, L.A., or ol' Mexico
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind
Drink till I'm dreaming a thousand miles out of my mind

This suit and this tie is just a disguise
This ain't really me
Some people were born to be tied down
Some people were born to be free

When I look down the road she don't know
How it gets under my skin
She's got my body but my heart and soul
Are out there riding the wind

Drinkin' and dreamin', knowing damn well I can't go
I'll never see Texas, L.A., or ol' Mexico
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind
Drink till I'm dreaming a thousand miles out of my mind
