Bobby Goldsboro Straight Life Lyrics

Straight Life Lyrics

The Straight Life
Bobby Goldsboro

Sometimes I imagine myself as a
drifter,
Seeker of fortunes, connoisseur of great wines.
Dashing through
meadows of yellow and green,
Trying to catch the impossible
dream,
Leavin' the straight life behind.

Sometimes my thoughts may
find me in Mexico,
Drinkin' tequila goin' out of my mind.
Havin' a ball
on a couple 'a bob,
Treatin' the ladies to corn on the cob,
Leavin' the
straight life behind.

Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear,
She
comes to me softly with crackers and beer,
Winkin' and blinkin' and blowin'
in my ear,
Runnin' away with my mind.

It's great to be in love, I'm
not really thinkin' of
Leavin' the straight life behind
I'm just playin'
a game in my mind.
Doo do do do do do do do do

Once in a while in my
mind I go bummin',
Goin' to nowhere, with no worry of time
Runnin' along
chasin' after a train,
Hummin' a song in the sun and the rain,
Leavin'
the straight life behind.

I can just see me on a tropical
island,
Ridin' the surf and drinkin' coconut wine.
Havin' me fun with
golden girls in the sand,
Chasin' the sun through an innocent
land,
Leavin' the straight life behind.

Suddenly all my silly
thoughts disappear,
She comes to me softly with crackers and
beer,
Winkin' and blinkin' and blowin' in my ear,
Runnin' away with my
mind.

It's great to be in love, I'm not really thinkin' of
Leavin'
the straight life behind,
I'm just playin' a game in my mind.

Do doo
do do do do doo do do
