Lyrics Further Down the Line - Johan Blohm, The Refreshments

Further Down the Line

Well I used to dream about fallin' in love
Finding my own little lovey dove
But ever since the dream came true
I’ve been lookin' for something new
Oh I used to dream about a beautiful wife
Now I dream about a different life
The grass is greener on the other side
Got a hungry heart I just can’t hide
Oh no matter how I try
I can’t satisfy this heart of mine
Paradise is always
Just a little further down the line
Well I used to dream about a fine old car
I found it last summer and I drove off far
A birdnest in the back and a drop top too
This year it just won’t do
And I used to dream about fortune and fame
Now I’ve found it’s just a shallow game
Today I’m lookin' for something real
Cause emptyness is all I feel
Oh no matter how I try
I can’t satisfy this heart of mine
Paradise is always
Just a little further down the line
solo
You spend your whole life tryin' to reach a goal
But every goldmine turns to coal
Like a dog I’m chasin' a rabbits tail
And I’m sometimes close, but I always fail
So I keep on runnin' but I’m runnin’blind
This race is bringin’no peace in mind
Been chasin' things my whole life through
Now I don’t know what to do
Oh no matter how I try
I can’t satisfy this heart of mine
Paradise is always
Just a little further down the line
Oh no matter how I try
I can’t satisfy this heart of mine
Paradise is always
Just a little further down the line
