It's a southern road west of New Orleans
I'm fightin' off a cold
From these winter rounds
Houston

She's just around the corner
But I think I'll stop off here in Lafayette
Lord and have me another round

[Chorus]
I've been workin' in corners all alone at night
Pullin' down whiskey
Keepin' my eyes away from the lights
I'll never be a fool but I will gamble foolishly
I've never let go of love
Till I lost it in my dreams
I don't want to go to sleep

'Cause I just might dream
I'm stronger now, there was a man in my hometown
He sang so pretty
I'm glad he turned my head around

But I'd forgotten how to play a one night stand
Lord I didn't have a word to say
Just holdin' that stranger's hand

[Chorus]

These city streets at five in the mornin'
I would've stopped to phone you
But I'm almost home
At my back door

There's a porch light that's shinin'
I just don't mind livin' here by myself
If I leave it on

[Chorus]

I don't want to go to sleep
'Cause I just might dream
Don't want to go to sleep
You know I sure can dream

And I sure can dream
Sure can dream
