John Wesley Harding - Millionaire's Dream lyrics

I'm a quiet guy, lead a quiet life

Got a quiet way and a quiet wife

I don't say too much, if there's nothing to say

I just watch the silence blow my day away

Put the TV on, but there's nothing to see

Just people talking endlessly

About things to buy, more shows to see

Might mean something to someone, means nothing to me

And when I go to bed, I sing to her

Then I go to sleep, and dream of dreaming

Walk down the street, wish I'd stayed in

Shoulda taken the car out for a spin

People ask for money, say I'm sorry for you

I'm in debt for life, I should be begging too

Had a dream that I was dreaming

Woke up with a start

A millionaire with a broken heart

Not me

So I don't want nothing, and I don't need much

'Cos I'm a millionaire with a Midas touch

The bank, God and tomorrow lay seige my home

And I wish they'd just leave us alone

And when I go to bed....
