Lyrics
"Livin' On Dreams For Awhile" (Hayden BMI / Gallup ASCAP) Stomach's been empty for couple 'a days Stray cat outside my door Now I’m down to the the last scraps of old pizza And she's beggin' me for more But there's a craving in my belly There's a need in my soul Never thought I'd get this far down But makin' music That sweet ol’ music makes me whole...and it CHORUS: and it Looks like I'll be livin' on dreams for awhile Livin' the blues ain't gonna go outta style It’s a day-to-day struggle just to survive Like that old cat, I'm barely stayin' alive But I still got my music, my reason to smile And it looks like I'll be livin' on dreams for awhile My transmission up and died I must've been goin too fast Now I gotta walk everywhere I go As long as these old soles last And there's a craving in my belly There's a need in my soul Never thought I'd get this far down But makin' music That sweet ol’ music makes me whole...and it CHORUS: One bare bulb hotel room And we've both seen better days It aint much but we call it home For the two of us strays And there's a craving in my belly There's a need in my soul Never thought I'd get this far down But makin' music That sweet ol’ music makes me whole...and it BRIDGE: That ol' tip jar don't stretch too far But I don't give a damn, 'Cause music's what I am and it Looks like I'll be livin' on dreams for awhile Livin' the blues ain't gonna go outta style It’s a day-to-day struggle just to survive Looks like I'll be livin' on dreams for awhile (© Martin Hayden / Bobbie Gallup)
