Dreamer

My brother said that I
was rotten to the core.
I was the youngest child,
so I got by with more.

I guess she was tired by
the time I came along.
She'd laugh until she cried,
I could do no wrong.
She would always save me,
because I was her baby.

I worked a factory in Ohio,
a shrimp boat in the Bayou,
I drove a truck in Birmingham.
Turned 21 in Cincinnati,
I called home to mom and daddy,
I said "Your boy is now a man."
She said "I don't care if you're 80,
you'll always be my baby."

She loved that photograph,
of our whole family.
She'd always point us out,
for all her friends to see.

That's Greg he's doing great,
he really loves his job.
And Ronnie with his 2 kids,
how 'bout that wife he's got.
And that one's kinda crazy,
but that one is my baby.

I got a call in Alabama,
said come on home to Louisianna
and come as fast as you can fly.
Cause your momma really needs you,
and says she's got to see you,
she might not make it through the night.
The whole way I drove 80
so she could see her baby.

She looked like she was sleepin'
and my family had been weepin'
by the time that I got to her side.
And I knew that she'd been taken,
and my heart it was breakin',
I never got to say goodbye.

I softly kissed that lady
and cried just like a baby.

I hit the ground runnin' with the mornin' sun
When a job needs doing I get it done
I show up early And I go home late
Everybody knows I pull my wieght
'Cause

(Chorus)
I don't mind doing
A little heavy liftin'
I'm always givin'
My everything
Even when I'm hurtin'
I keep on workin'
And as long as I'm still alive and kickin'
I'll be stickin'
To the heavy liftin'

Oh baby I heard he done you wrong
The going go tough and he got gone
Well he ain't here and I ain't him
And even if the walls come fallin' in
(You know)

(Chorus)

Baby when you heart is achin'
Lean on me, my back ain't breakin'
All I'm sayin' is

(Chorus)

Honey I ain't quittin'
I'm always givin'
My everything
Yeah...

Shadows of the night
Moving on the ground
Like silent clouds
They follow me around
As I wander the dark
Throught the midnight mist
Remembering our last kiss
Do you know how much
You're missed

Chrous:
Tonight I stand in this lonely place
I search the heavens
For some saving grace
And I cry, dying without you
I know you're somewhere
Looking up there too
Right now that's all
Two distant hearts can do
Oh-ooh, at least were underneath
Underneath the same moon

Picturing your face
Flowers in your hair
Like you always wear
Oh I can see you there
Longing to be touched
But you're out of reach
Oh hold on please
Won't you wait for me

Repeat Chours

la la la
la la la
la la la
Oh-ooh At least were underneath
Underneath the same moon

Shadows of the night
Moving all around
Moving on the ground
They follow me around
