Sometimes I imagine
myself as a drifter
Seeker of fortunes
connoisseur of great wines
Dashin' through meadows
of yellow and green
Tryin' to catch
the impossible dream
Leavin' the straight life behind
Sometimes my thoughts
may find me in Mexico
Drinkin' tequila
Goin' out of my mind
Havin' a ball on
a couple of bucks
Treatin' the ladies
to corn on the cob
Leavin' the straight life behind
Suddenly all my
silly thoughts disappear
She comes to me softly
with crackers and beer
Winkin' and blinkin'
And blowin' my ear
Runnin' away with my mind
It's great to be in love
I'm not really thinkin' of
Leavin' the straight life behind
I'm just playin'
a game in my mind
Do do do do do
Do do do
Do do do do do
Do do
Once in a while in my mind
I go bummin'
Goin' to nowhere
with no worry of time
Runnin' along
Chasin' after a train
Hummin' a song
in the sun and the rain
Leavin' the straight life behind
I can just see me
on a tropical island
Ridin' the surf
and drinkin' coconut wine
Havin' me fun with
golden girls in the sand
Chasin' the sun through
an innocent land
Leavin' the straight life behind
Suddenly all my
silly thoughts disappear
She comes to me softly
with crackers and beer
Winkin' and blinkin'
And blowin' my ear
Runnin' away with my mind
It's great to be in love
I'm not really thinkin' of
Leavin' the straight life behind
I'm just playin'
a game in my mind
Do do do do do
Do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do
