Ten Gallon Dream

Inspired by the old ten gallon hat days of the west.

Well I woke up this morning
Showered and combed my head
I made myself some coffee
With some eggs and toasted bread
Got in my old pick-up truck
And I let those tires scream
Gonna buy a bottle of liquor
And have a ten gallon dream

When I got to the liquor store
Saw a robbery going on in there
But I wanted me a bottle, boy
So I went in without a care
The gunman turned to face me
One punch took him out it seems
I said, Don't get in the way of my liquor
And my ten gallon dream

The owner gave me free whiskey
And I started down the road
Just when I got close to home
I saw someone I owed
He said, Son just keep your money
I'll take that bottle of Jim Beam
I said, You're not getting my liquor boy
That's for my ten gallon dream

So I made it to the farmhouse
And walked in my front door
Then I thought about that ruckus
And how my hand was sore
But I sat down in my easy chair
And turned on the TV screen
Then I drank my bottle of liquor
And had my ten gallon dream
