Dreamin’ Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a dreamin' man, yes, that's my problem (Dreamin' man)
I can't tell when I'm not being real
In the meadow dusk, I park my Aerostar (Dreamin' man)
With a loaded gun and sweet dreams of you

[Chorus]
I'll always be a dreamin' man
I don't have to understand
I know it's alright

[Verse 2]
I see your curves and I feel your vibrations (Dreamin' man)
You dressed in black and white, you lost in the mall
I watch you disappear past Club Med vacations (Dreamin' man)
Another sleepless night, a sun that won't fall

[Chorus]
I'll always be a dreamin' man
I don't have to understand
I know it's alright

[Verse 3]
Now the night is gone, a new day is dawning (Dreamin' man)
And our homeless dreams go back to the street
Another time or place, another civilization (Dreamin' man)
Would really make this life feel so complete
[Chorus]
I'll always be a dreamin' man
I don't have to understand
I know it's alright

[Outro]
Dreamin' man
(He's got a problem)
Dreamin' man
Dreamin' man
(He's got a problem)
Dreamin' man

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
