Somewhere in a dream
I'm standing by the river
there's a warm wind blowing through the trees
somewhere in a dream
it's Autumn,
almost Winter
the days of Summer are just memories
somewhere in this dream
there's a love that couldn't find me
though I swore I'd always stay
somewhere in this dream
there's a thousand miles behind me
I always seem to find my way
back to this place that I know
this place that I go
I'm driving through shadows of my doubt
on an old country road
to this place I call home
back in the melancholy south
sometimes in my dreams
I'll see her in the distance
she always turns and runs away
sometimes in my dreams
it only takes an instant
for the blue skies all to turn to gray
somewhere in this dream
there's a love that couldn't find me
though I swore I'd always stay
somewhere in this dream
there's a thousand miles behind me
I always seem to find my way
back to this place that I know
this place that I go
I'm driving through shadows of my doubt
on an old country road
to this place I call home
back in the melancholy south
It's a hot and humid night
cotton clinging to my skin
Sweet Magnolia is in the air again
southern melody gently eases in
I hear that sad guitar
somewhere in the wind
somewhere in this dream
there's a love that couldn't find me
though I swore I'd always stay
somewhere in this dream
there's a thousand miles behind me
I always seem to find my way
back to this place that I know
this place that I go
I'm driving through shadows of my doubt
on an old country road
to this place I call home
back in the melancholy south
