    Every night before I go to sleep
    Find a ticket, win a lottery,
    Scoop the pearls up from the sea
    Cash them in and buy you all the things you need.

    Every night before I rest my head
    See those dollar bills go swirling 'round my bed.
    I know they're stolen, but I don't feel bad.
    I take that money, buy you things you never had.

    Oh, baby, it would mean so much to me,
    Oh, baby, to buy you all the things you need for free.
    I'll buy you a jet plane, baby,
    Get you on a higher plane to a jet stream
    And take you through the stratosphere
    And check out the planets there and then take you down
    Deep where it's hot, hot in Arabia, babia, then cool, cold fields of snow
    And we'll roll, dream, roll, dream, roll, roll, dream, dream.
    When we dream it, when we dream it, when we dream it,
    We'll dream it, dream it for free, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money, free money, free money, free money.

    Every night before I go to sleep
    Find a ticket, win a lottery.
    Every night before I rest my head
    See those dollar bills go swirling 'round my bed.

    Oh, baby, it would mean so much to me,
    Baby, I know our troubles will be gone.
    Oh, I know our troubles will be gone, goin' gone
    If we dream, dream, dream for free.
    And when we dream it, when we dream it, when we dream it,
    Let's dream it, we'll dream it for free, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money, free.

    I was born in a trunk.
    Mama died and my daddy got drunk.
    Left me here to die alone
    in the middle of Tobacco Road.

    Growin' up rusty shack,
    all I had was hangin' on my back.
    Only you know how I loathe
    this place called Tobacco Road.

    But it's home, the only life I ever known.
    Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road.

    Gonna leave, get a job
    with the help and the grace from above.
    Save some money, get rich and old,
    bring it back to Tobacco Road.

    But it's home, the only life I ever known.
    Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road.

    Bring that dynamite and a crane,
    blow it up, start all over again.
    Build a town, be proud to show.
    Gives the name Tobacco Road

    In a sluggish economy
    inflation,recession
    hits the land of the free
    standing in unemployment lines
    blame the government for hard time

    we just get by
    however we can
    we all gotta duck
    when the shit hits the fan

    10 kids in a cadillac
    stand in lines for welfare checks
    let's all leach off the state
    gee!the money's really great!

    soup lines
    free loaves of bread
    5lb blocks of cheese
    bags of groceries
    social security
    has run out on you and me
    we do whatever we can
    gotta duck when the shit hits the fan
