Sometimes I imagine myself as a drifter A seeker of fortune, connoisseur of great wines Dashin' through meadows of yellow and green Tryin' to catch the impossible dream A-leavin' the straight life behind Sometimes my thoughts found me way down in Mexico A-drinkin' tequila goin' out of my mind Havin' a ball on a couple 'a bob A-treatin' the ladies to corn on the cob A-leavin' the straight life behind And suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear She comes to me softly with crackers and beer A-winkin' and blinkin' and blowin' my ear A-runnin' away with my mind It's great to be in love, I'm not really thinkin' of A-leavin' the straight life behind I'm just playin' a game in my-why mind Once in a while in my mind I go a-bummin' A-goin' nowhere, with no worry of time Runnin' along chasin' after a train Hummin' a song in the sun and the rain A-leavin' the straight life behind I can just see me on a tropical island A-ridin' the surf and drinkin' coconut wine Havin' me fun with the girls in the sand Chasin' the sun through an innocent land A-leavin' the straight life behind Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear She comes to me softly with crackers and beer A-winkin' and blinkin' and blowin' my ear A-runnin' away with my mind It's great to be in love, I'm not really thinkin' of A-leavin' the straight life behind I'm just playin' a game in my-why mind
