"Don't Wake Me Up" lyrics

"Don't Wake Me Up"
(feat. Jesse Welles)

I can dream in a field
I can dream in a dive bar
Dream in a rusted out truck in Wichita
Dream in a cow pasture, cemetery, dollar store
I can dream in a big city
Dream in a civil war
In the middle of the day, I can go all night

I can dream in a honky tonk, dream in a leaky tent
Dream away the madness seeping through the internet
Dream about horses and falling dominoes
Dream about a blackjack table in Buffalo
Dream up and down I can dream side to side

Don't wake me up, I ain't up for that
The way this world is going, ain't where I'm at
And sooner or later we'll all be dead
I'd rather be living it up, up in my head
Don't wake me up, I ain't up for that

I can dream in a factory, dream in a liquor store
I can dream in a bowling alley laid out on the floor
I can dream at the Claremont lounge in Atlanta
I can dream at a graveyard down in Savannah
I can dream with my eyes closed or with I'm both open wide

I can dream in a trailer park or in a subdivision
Dream away the politician screaming on the television
I can dream in a Waffle House down in Kentucky
Dreamin up bad luck even when I'm lucky
I can dream in color I can dream in black and white

Don't wake me up, I ain't up for that
The way this world is going ain't where I'm at
If soon enough we'll all be dead
I'd rather be living up in my head
Don't wake me up, I ain't up for that

I can dream in a snowstorm
Stuck out in Bozeman
Dream in the drunk tank
While I'm still buzzin
Dream in a cantina, rodeo, music hall
Dream in a truck stop, Midwest strip mall
I can dream inside out, backwards too

I can dream in French
I can dream in Spanish
I can dream with the subtitles on in Japannish
Dream in a dojo somewhere out in Tokyo
At a two star sushi bar listening to the radio
I can dream a subway car at the end of the line

Don't wake me up, I ain't up for that
The way this world is going ain't where I'm at
If soon enough we'll all be dead
I'd rather be living it up, up in my head
Don't wake me up, I ain't up for that
Don't wake me up
I ain't up for that
I ain't up for that
I'm in my dreamin hat
