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
