Canteen Full of Dreams Lyrics by Roger Alan Wade

Simmering Rage

2019

[Verse 1]
I have stood my ground when I should have turned and run
I watched my dreams melt away like ice cubes in the sun
I fell in love with ladies that don't know I even exist
Prayed to my savor and held a razor to my wrist
I found myself in trouble and I lost myself in vain
Busted in these honky-tonks and broke down in the rain
I heard the sirens of confusion in the canyons of my mind
Sentenced to eternity accused of killing time
[Chorus]
But Lord I guess I lasted longer than most folks thought I would
Overworked and underpaid and so misunderstood
I suffered from the burden of an excess of extremes
But I made it through the desert with a canteen full of dreams
[Verse 2]
I spent my mind on music lost my soul inside a song
Seems like people like me got nowhere to belong
Others seem to know where they're bound and where they've been
Well I felt like I was always on the outside lookin' in
[Chorus]
Lord I guess I lasted longer than most folks thought I would
Overworked and underpaid and so misunderstood
I suffered from the burden of an excess of extremes
But I made it through the desert with a canteen full of dreams
[Chorus]
Lord I guess I lasted longer than most folks thought I would
Overworked and underpaid and so misunderstood
I suffered from the burden of an excess of extremes
But I made it through the desert with a canteen full of dreams
