For me it ain't real It's fools gold There too many fools sold Not an excuse oh She sits home and dreams That her man will leave his mark on her hand He's not all he seems But she's seen a dress, she has the flowers planned

Woman won't you come back home My father told me always be strong son Don't you ever cry You find the pretty girls and then you love them Then you say goodbye I never dreamed that you would leave me But now you're gone, gone gone I never dreamed that I

Well, damn these dreams The first time it felt like fallin' in love Playin' my heart just like a guitar string Chasin' that same old whiskey melody It's hard to look true love in the eye and leave I remember hearin' Hank on the radio I bought a cassette,

And I've never seen a more beautiful thing Am I just dreaming? Let's take it too far And should we begin before it's too late? Say that you'll take a cigarette break But I saw a spark Just a cigarette break, leave the ashes on the fire escape To burn

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer Not a trace, of doubt in my mind I couldn't leave her if I tried Love was out to get me That's the way it seemed Disappointment haunted all of my dreams No not if I tried I'm in love and I'm a believer I thought

'Cause when I see your face my own senses leave me I just can't Keep me up all night, I'm not sleeping I'm closing my eyes just to keep on dreaming Yeah, I could be blind but I'd still see that Yeah, I could be blind but I'd still see that, I just can't
