Lyrics

Dreams of Yesterday
John Keller
Copyright Off-Center Music 2004

There?s a place in my memory
Where I drift back to now and then
It?s been so long since I touched the soil
Or smelled the wildflowers growin?
Old dirt roads and long country miles
Mean the world to my heart
Fishin? down by the tall oak tree
Try to catch the ones that got away

Chorus - Ooh take me back
Ooh let me stay
Ooh take me back
To my child hood Dreams
Of yesterday

Swimmin? out at Old Johnston?s farm
Gettin? chased by honeybees
Giggin? frogs then let ?em go
With my old dog Blue at my side
I learned to drive in the old corn field
Got stuck once in a while
And layin? back in the summer sun
Sip an ice-cold glass of lemonade

Chorus

Bridge - Dreams bring you comfort
Sit back and smile
Dreams can bring you back home
Closer for a while

Wakin? up at dawn?s early light
Hear the rooster crow out low
Balin? hay and when the chores are done
Drive to town to see a show
Ridin? back in the dead of night
Hear the crickets sing their song
And out in the hills where the coyote stands
Listen to them bay at the moon

Chorus

Chorus 2 - Ooh Take me back
Ooh I wanna stay
Ooh take me back
To my childhood Dreams
Of yesterday
