No Dreams For Me
My daddy was a wanted man
They hung him in the square
I was just 10 years old
When I saw him swinging there.
A killer and a thief
I knew he was no good
No decency or morals
So much for fatherhood
I don't waste no time on dreaming
There are no dreams for me
I guess you'll find me one day
Swinging from a tree
My momma was a princess
Didn't deserve to live that way
The old man left us penniless
With many debts to pay
She worked all day and night
At the Lucky Horse Saloon
Just to put bread on the table
Did what she had to do
I don't waste no time on dreaming
There are no dreams for me
I quess you'll find me one day
Swinging from a tree
Lord knows I should have learned the lessons
My daddy made so clear
When your walking with the devil
Son, he's always in your ear
As time went by I grew up
And never was no good
I left my wife and children
No time for fatherhood
I shot a man in Tucson
For a dollar and a dime
I can hear the hammers swinging
Running out of time
I don't waste no time on dreaming
There are no dreams for me
By this time tomorrow
I'll be swinging from a tree
By this time tomorrow I'll be swinging from a tree
By this time tomorrow I'll be swinging from a tree
Swinging from a tree
Swinging from a tree
Swinging from a tree
