A Dog Named Sam Lyrics by The Bottle Rockets

2025

Verse 1
The greatest escape, since that time that I left for good
Will be the day my daydreams take over my eyes
And I fade away, into something that’ll never be seen
That’ll be the day, and I can’t wait

Verse 2
It’s always sink or swim, until someone eventually sinks
It was me this time, it’ll be yours soon enough
And you’ll fade away, into something from a memory
And I’ll learn to live with that drowning feeling deep in my
Chest

Bridge
In my wildest fantasiеs
I have no home address
No friеnds, no lovers
And no past

Sam and I drive the east coast
North in the winter, South in the summer
And the sea is always in view

We sleep in the van
Bare feet on the sand
And I am tanned and well built

I play guitar
In pubs and in bars
For meals and a mattress

I play all the classics
In one gigantic singalong
And I such a beautiful voice

I drink more beer than water
Just like my dad
And his dad
And his dad

I’ve never been to the big city
Maybe I’ll get around to it one day
Maybe

But this is just a fantasy
I have a home
I have friends
I have lovers
I have a past
So i will continue on
