River of dreams

When I was a young man Money was my hero Something to believe in Something to be seen Now looking at the big lie Looking back on my life I'm adding up the zeros In the book of might have been When I was a young man I was someone's hero Someone to be seen with Someone to believe Now looking at the big lie Looking back on my life All that dirty water In the river of my dreams All that dirty water in my dreams When I was a young man Being cool came easy Playing in the big lights Trouble came for free Now looking at the big lie Looking back on my life Trying to find the good seed Now I'm down here in the weeds All that dirty water in my dreams All that dirty water in my dreams When I was a young man Music was my saviour Took me to the fast lane Answered all my needs Now looking at the big lie Looking back on my life All it did was show me All the things that might have been All that dirty water in my dreams All that dirty water in my dreams All that dirty water in my dreams All that dirty water in my dreams
