| Some might wake up in a doorway
|
| Some live in mansions, sick and sad
|
| Some decay without the glory
|
| And never realize what they had
|
| I’m not wasting away my dreams
|
| In shadows and shade, love streams
|
| I’m not wasting away
|
| Spent my childhood at the movies
|
| With Lenny Bruce and young Joe Buck
|
| One day you’ll wake up and you’re 30
|
| And you can’t even drive a truck
|
| I’m not wasting away my dreams
|
| In shadows and shade, love streams
|
| I’m not wasting away, no, no
|
| Heading back where I come from
|
| Beyond the valley and the neon sun
|
| At 3'clock when that bell rung
|
| Well, every moment left unsung
|
| Still yours, it’s all I got
|
| I’m not wasting away my dreams
|
| In shadows and shade, love streams
|
| I’m not wasting away, no, no |
