Clay Walker Dreaming With My Eyes Open
I spent half my life on bended knee Begging somebody to change And the other half prayin' to God That they never would And all it got me was twice as lost When it all turned out the same But all that beggin' finally did somebody good I used to dream all night Of a day that was gone But come the mornin' light Forever from now on (chorus) Gunna do my dreamin' with my eyes wide open I'll do my looking back With my eyes closed We can do some livin' Or spend our whole lives hopin' End the end we're left with The one we chose So I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open Every time the world moved on I fell a little further behind >From runnin' back or followin someone home Until I learned that one step forward Will take you further on Than a thousand back or a million that ain't Your own I used to dream all night Of a day that was gone But come the mornin' light Forever from now on (chorus) We can do some livin' or spend our whole lives hopin' In the end we're left with The ones we chose So I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
