Some might wake up in a doorway
Some live in mansions sick and sad
Some decay without the glory
And never realize what they had
*I'm not wasting away my dreams
In shadows and shade
Love streams
Not wasting away
Spent my childhood at the movies
With Lenny Bruce and young Joe Buck
One day you'll wake up and you're 30
And you can't even drive a truck
*I'm not wasting away my dreams
In shadows and shade
Love streams
Not wasting away no more
And I'm back where I come from
And I'm not living in your house no more
At 3 o'clock when that bell rung
Every moment left unsung
Still yours
It's all that I got.
*I'm not wasting away my dreams
In shadows and shade
Love streams
Not wasting away no more.
