Big Ugly Dog - Living the Dream Lyrics

Bleary eyed and silent I head toward the clock
Knowing that I'm gonna catch hell from my boss
Last night was filled with liquor and song
Oh the nights seem so short and these days just drag on

Well I sure aint in it for the money
And it's a long long way
From Nashville Tennessee
And I know it may sound funny
But it sure feels like
I'm living the dream

It was a pretty good crowd for a Tuesday night
And that cute little barmaid was treating me right
I finished my set and packed up my gear
For a few brand new fans and a night of free beer

Well I sure aint in it for the money
And it's a long long way
From Nashville Tennessee
And I know it may sound funny
But it sure feels like
I'm living the dream

And you might as well ask a junkie
To stop taking dope
I'm going keep on singing and playing
As long as there's one single shred of hope

I was chosen to play at the Kerrville fest
So I cleaned out my savings and headed out west
Two thousand miles for a two song set
And a weekend of memories I'll never forget

Well I sure aint in it for the money
And it's a long long way
From Nashville Tennessee
And I know it may sound funny
But it sure feels like
I'm living the dream
