SONNY'S DREAM
TRANSCRIBED BY MIKE DIXON

Sonny lives on a farm, on a wide open space
you can take off your sneekers, and give up the race
you can lay down your head, by a sweet river bed
But Sonny always remembers, what it was his mama said......
Sonny carries a load, He is barely a man
there aint a-lot to do, still he does what he can
and he watches the sea, from a room by the stairs
and the waves keep on rollin, they've done that for years.....
Chorus
Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
and your Daddy's a sailor who never comes home
and the nights get so long, and the silence goes on
and I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong.....
Well its a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there
and he goes to the highway and stands there and stares
and the mail comes at four, and the mailman is old
aww but, he still dreams his dreams, full of silver and gold....
(Chorus) ((Substitute D for C, G for F, and A for G))
Sonny's dreams can't be real, there just stories he's read
there just stars in his eyes, there just dreams in his head
and he's hungry inside, for the wide world outside
and I know i can't hold him, Oh I've tried and I tried and I tried
(Chorus) X 2((Substitute D for C, G for F, and A for G))
