Lyrics Escaping Reality - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Escaping Reality

Every night I go to bed
Afraid I’m gonna die
Prayin' to the sky
That I’ll survive
Morning’s when I wake up
The sunlight in my eyes
I turn and wonder why
I’m still alive
So every now and then I steal away
To the place I know far away
You can find me on a tropic island
Sailin' on a crystal sea
Blue skies above
Happy as I can be
In my own milk and honey byland
Sleepin' underneath a tree
I’m dreamin' of love
Escaping reality
I considered everybody else
Before myself
On my list
I’m twelfth priority
I’ve givin' up most everything
I’ve had in search of wealth
Lost my mental health
And sanity
So when these blues chase my smiles away
I go to a place miles away
You can find me on a tropic island
Sailin' on a crystal sea
Blue skies above
Happy as I can be
In my own milk and honey byland
Sleepin' underneath a tree
I’m dreamin' of love
Escaping reality
Yes, I’m dreamin' of love
Escaping reality
