I've never been the one
Who had my head on straight
So I gave myself this job

Now I'm waitin' at the gate
For my bag to be inspected


For some crazy reason
I am always suspected
Of smugglin' somethin' through

Like smoke or dope or airplane glue
The sergeant waves me through


And I know you've got something to believe in
Down deep inside your soul
Hey friend, don't you stop believin'

In the dreams that you had
When you were just a lad


Bare down, take another town
And station by storm
Crank up the tunes beneath the full moon

And the Carolina corn
But don't let it pass you by


'Cause someday you'll wake up
Askin' yourself why
You sat there at your desk

Suckin' on a corporate breast
You turned out like the rest


And I know you've got something to believe in
Down deep inside your soul
Hey friend, don't you stop believin'

In the dreams that you had
When you were just a lad


Hey you, check out the view
Winding down the one
Me and the miss sharin' bliss

And soakin' up the sun
And I feel like I've been resurrected


In my lifetime I have
Never felt protected
And loved like I do

When I am here with you
Only you


And I know you've got something to believe in
Down deep inside your desperate soul
Hey friend, don't you stop believin'

In the dreams that you had
In the dreams that we all had
When you were just a lad
