| 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 |
