[00:00:00] The Dreamer - Marty Robbins

[00:00:01] Written by：Marty Robbins

[00:00:11] When I was a young man beginnin' my teens

[00:00:18] How well I remember the lickin's I'd get cause I'd dream

[00:00:28] My work never finished barely begun

[00:00:35] I couldn't get started till all of my dreamin' was done

[00:00:46] I wouldn't shuck cotton' I wouldn't chop wood

[00:00:53] And pa would whip me and say that's for bein' no good

[00:01:04] But I kept chasin' rainbows finally I found

[00:01:11] The great open range and the hills were my best dreamin' ground

[00:01:22] When I left the home place our mother did cry

[00:01:29] She begged me to stay there and not say goodbye

[00:01:36] My pa told my mother your tears are in vain

[00:01:43] Your son is a dreamer and the winds call his name

[00:01:52] So don't try to stop him let him move on

[00:01:59] 'Cause he won't stop his driftin'

[00:02:03] Till all of his dreamin' is gone

[00:02:14] Last night in a campfire a face I did see

[00:02:21] A vision of mother she seemed to be callin' to me

[00:02:32] For seventeen years now I've drifted alone

[00:02:39] But I wanna see mother tomorrow I start driftin' home

[00:02:50] The last hill I've climbed now and what do I see

[00:02:57] An old run down shack where the ranch used to be

[00:03:04] Then I see a tombstone and then see one more

[00:03:11] I drifted too long from the old ranch house door

[00:03:20] There's nothin' more left now but driftin' it seems

[00:03:27] But I hope I can dream of the lickin's I'd get

[00:03:34] 'Cause I'd dream
