Lord, ain't it funny
How the time slips away
What am I doin' in this town?
With no one to talk to
And nothin' to say
Seems like I spend my whole life
Hangin' around
Hangin' around with my dreams

Left home at an early age
And see what I can see
Hometown's a small town
Ain't enough for me
Big dreams in a small pond
Can never come true
So I packed my things and headed west
Like I had something to do

Hangin' around with my dreams
Watchin' the world fall apart at the seams
I woulda done anything
I guess it wasn't enough
So I'm hangin' around with my dreams

Well I be in here ten long years
Seeking fortune and fame
In the city of angels
Where no one knows your name
I was gonna be famous
Gonna shake this town
Now I'm washin' windows for spare change
And sleepin' on the ground
Hangin' around with my dreams
Watchin' the world fall apart at the seams
I woulda done anything
I guess it wasn't enough
So I'm hangin' around with my dreams

Hangin' around with my dreams
Watchin' the world fall apart at the seams, yeah
Well, now, I woulda done anything
I guess it wasn't enough
So I'm hangin' around with my dreams

Lord, ain't it funny
How the time slips away
