The Straight Life |
| Sometimes I imagine myself as a drifter |
| Seeker of fortunes, connoisseur of great wines |
| Dashing through meadows of yellow and green |
| Trying to catch the impossible dream |
| Leavin' the straight life behind |
| Sometimes my thoughts may find me in Mexico |
| Drinkin' tequila goin' out of my mind |
| Havin' a ball on a couple 'a bob |
| Treatin' the ladies to corn on the cob |
| Leavin' the straight life behind |
| Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear |
| She comes to me softly with crackers and beer |
| Winkin' and blinkin' and blowin' in my ear |
| Runnin' away with my mind |
| It’s great to be in love |
| I’m not really thinkin' of |
| Leavin' the straight life behind |
| I’m just playin' a game in my mind |
| Once in a while in my mind I go bummin' |
| Goin' to nowhere, with no worry of time |
| Runnin' along chasin' after a train |
| Hummin' a song in the sun and the rain |
| Leavin' the straight life behind |
| I can just see me on a tropical island |
| Ridin' the surf and drinkin' coconut wine |
| Havin' me fun with the girls in the sand |
| Chasin' the sun through an innocent land |
| Leavin' the straight life behind |
| Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear |
| She comes to me softly with crackers and beer |
| Winkin' and blinkin' and blowin' in my ear |
| Runnin' away with my mind |
| It’s great to be in love |
| I’m not really thinkin' of |
| Leavin' the straight life behind |
| I’m just playin' a game in my mind |
