Dreams Of Martina - Hal Ketchum

Another new day just came and went

Working, I sail 'bout the wave, got spent

Working like a dog, laying asphalt down

On a two-lane black top leaving this town

The red hot sun don’t bother me now

What gets me is when the day is done

Cold dark house and an unmade bed

Where the dreams of Martina roll around in my head

Dreams of Martina, what can I say?

Dreams of Martina stand in my way

Tonight I’m gonna lay that heartache down

Everybody tells me that I’m not myself

Somebody tried to set me up with someone else

Casual conversation and a moon-lit stroll

It’s the perfect situation and my blood runs cold

My friends can’t see what’s bothering me

I guess they wanna know me like I used to be

Maybe liven up the party with my lampshade on

Before dreams of Martina turned my heart to stone

Dreams of Martina, what can I say?

Dreams of Martina stand in my way

Tonight I’m gonna lay that heartache down

The wind and rain don’t cause me no pain

I guess I’ve grown accustomed to the same ol' thing

It appears I might suffer from the lack of a king

But the dreams of Martina won’t let me sleep

Dreams of Martina, what can I say?

Dreams of Martina stand in my way

Tonight I’m gonna lay that heartache down

Tonight I’m gonna lay that heartache down

Dreams of Martina!
