Dean Martin - A Place In The Shade lyrics

A PLACE IN THE SHADE

(Baker Knight)

« © '67 Unichappell Music »

Now some folks play the whole day long

They think they got it made

But they won't get a thrill the way that I live

When I find me a place in the shade

A poor man word is never learned still I wouldn't trade

All the world and its gold all the treasures untold

I want a little place in the shade

Too late to bed and early to rise

Makes a man weary and cuts him down the size

They come and they go and their worlds fall apart

But I'm gonna cling to the dreams in my heart

Cause someday I know the years gonna come

When all my debts are paid

When my work is all done I'll smile at the sun

And find me a place in the shade

When the work is all done I'll smile at the sun

And find me a place in the shade
