Guess I'll always have to be Living in a fantasy From now on That's the way it's got to be It's you for you, and me for me Monday has come around again I'm in the same old place With the same old faces always watching me Who knows how long I'll have to

Of a windmill going round Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune And the songs that I have sung Echo in the distance Like the sound I have often told you stories about the way I lived the life of a drifter Waiting for the day When I'd take your hand

With the same old song About the same old love And the same old strum I may be country but I'm not dumb It goes on and on Now I love country music And I guess I always will But these days when I turn on the radio

Guess I'll always have to be Living in a fantasy From now on That's the way it's got to be It's you for you, and me for me Monday has come around again I'm in the same old place With the same old faces always watching me Who knows how long I'll have to

The stars are bright tonight I love you just the way you are I'll have you just the way you are I'll take you just the way you are And I am walking nowhere I guess I will be alright Desire gets you nowhere And you are always right And my, you are so

I guess I'll always be Of a windmill going round A soldier of fortune. Now I feel I'm growing older And all the songs that I have sung Echo in the distance Like the sound I have often told you stories about the way I lived the life of a drifter waiting

How come you don't call me I keep your picture upside my bed (umm) And I still remember everything you said (umm) I always thought our love was so right I guess I was wrong (oh) Always thought you'll be by my side Pappa, now you're gone What I wanna know

How come you don't call me I keep your picture upside my bed (umm) And I still remember everything you said (umm) I always thought our love was so right I guess I was wrong (oh) Always thought you'll be by my side Pappa, now you're gone What I wanna know

And mountains Oh mountains o' things The life I've always wanted I guess I'll never have I'll be working for somebody else Until I'm in my grave I'll be dreaming of a live of ease To have a big expensive car Drag my furs on the ground And have a maid

I guess a bottle can't save my life I guess a bottle can't tame my mind I found my vice I found my vice It lives in a bottle and wants me to die This is my reward, a barely beating heart But I still lie to myself, I always lie to myself My hands are in
