Story behind the song
In light of recent big jackpots for Powerball and the Big Game (circa August 2001)
Lyrics
Dreamin' of gettin' rich Rubbin' off a scratchie I scored a prize of fifty grand A windfall come at me I'd have almost anything I want And not need a credit card But it's only a dream. I scream and I shout for joy All over the highway Rollin' my window down And yell, "this is my day!" I best watch out or my fifty grand Will buy someone else a car. But it's only a dream (Chorus) It's only a dream, An illusion that blows rings of smoke 'round my head. It's only a dream, It will catch me off guard while I'm lying in bed. I tried my hand at Powerball And won a few million You think I'd win that much??? Yeah, right!! (real sarcastically) So that's my opinion. I'd build a log cabin in the woods Away from this crazy town. But it's only a dream. (Chorus) (12-string lead solo - a la "The Byrds") (Chorus) Tomorrow I will try again And hit the big jackpot My friends will say "you're dreamin', boy" Like I'm a real crackpot. The truth is they're absolutely right. I shouldn't quit my day job yet, 'Cause it's only a dream. (Chorus) It's only a dream (repeat/fade).
