A man might dream
Me and Jesse and Billy the Kid
Rode all night man the things we did
Blazed a trail 'cross the desert sky
To old to care to young to die
Oh yeah ! a man might dream.
Me and Geromino gave 'em hell
Stood ten feet tall where thousands fell
Boots and saddles 'cross the open plain
Every son of a gun gonna remember my name
Oh yeah ! a man might dream

A man might dream in the dark of night
a man might dream in the bright sunlight
a man might dream of flyin' away
a man might dream of dyin' some day
a man might dream of angels wings
a man might dream of ghostly things
a man might dream and never live
a man might dream yeah ! a man might dream
 

Me and Neil Armstrong danced on the moon
Made a fatal mistake came home too soon
Nobody would believe a word I'd say
Been out there since that fateful day
Oh yeah ! a man might dream
Me and Mohammed went round for round
Punch for punch pound for pound
I knocked him down he was saved by the bell
Could have been a contender you never can tell
Oh yeah ! a man might dream.

A man might dream of things to come
A man might dream of things undone
A man might dream of wrong and right
A man might dream of giving up the fight
A man might dream of one more chance
A man might dream of sweet romance
A man might dream and never live
A man might dream, yeah, a man might dream.

Me and old Peter, we fished all day
Someone walked on the water, blew us away
they hung Him up on a cross to die
 Don't forget me boss in your mansions in the sky
Oh yeah, a man might dream.
Dreamt I was Adam and I was Eve
Really found that hard to believe
Nobodys home there's just a name
Confusion illusion it's just a game
Oh yeah, a man might dream.
oh yeah, a man might dream.
oh yeah, a man might dream.
oh yeah, a man might dream.

Wake up! wake up! -  you sleepy head
Wake up! wake up! - you walkin' dead
