Clay Walker Dreaming With My Eyes Open Lyrics

Dreaming With My Eyes Open Lyrics

I spent half my life on bended knee

Begging somebody to change

And the
other half prayin' to God

That they never would

And all it got me was
twice as lost

When it all turned out the same

But all that beggin'
finally did somebody good

I used to dream all night

Of a day that was
gone

But come the mornin' light

Forever from now
on

(chorus)

Gunna do my dreamin' with my eyes wide open

I'll do my
looking back

With my eyes closed

We can do some livin'

Or spend our
whole lives hopin'

End the end we're left with

The one we chose

So
I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

Every time the world moved
on

I fell a little further behind

>From runnin' back or followin
someone home

Until I learned that one step forward

Will take you
further on

Than a thousand back or a million that ain't

Your own

I
used to dream all night

Of a day that was gone

But come the mornin'
light

Forever from now on

(chorus)

We can do some livin'

or
spend our whole lives hopin'

In the end we're left with

The ones we
chose

So I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
