"Livin' Too Close To The Dream" lyrics

Oh, I've been smokin' a little bit
Tryin' to get a grip
On my life
One might say I'm flying close to the sun

Oh, I've been livin' in my regret including these cigarettes
Man, I ain't kicked 'em yet
But a life worth livin' has gotta 'lil fun

But, I stayed up all night singin' my songs again
Raisin' hell with all my rowdy friends
So, smoke 'em if you got 'em, boys
Yeah, the drinks they're on me
Yeah, I'll be
Cussin' and fightin'
I'll be singin' and writin'
I'll be livin' and dyin'
Just a little too close to the dream

My mom would be beltin' me
Try to beat the devil out of me
If she saw the sin
I know I'd deserve it
So, I, I'd take it on the chin

But I love Honky Tonkin', man
And when it gets rockin' it's right on the money, honey
And we'll get the crowd screaming
Like a bag full of demons
And we'll be on the road again

And, I stayed up all night singin' my songs again
Raisin' hell with all my rowdy friends
So, smoke 'em if you got 'em, boys
Yeah, the drinks they're on me
Yeah, I'll be
Cussin' and fightin'
I'll be singin' and writin'
I'll be livin' and dyin'
Just a little too close to the dream

But I stayed up all night singin' my songs again
Raisin' hell with all my rowdy friends
So, smoke 'emif you got 'em, boys
Yeah, the drinks they're on me
Yeah, I'll be
Cussin' and fightin'
I'll be singin' and writin'
I'll be livin' and dyin'
Just a little too close to the dream
