Around The Bend by Tony Lucca Lyrics
She said how did you become so hard to handle?
Holding on to something you can't see
You spray paint your love songs like a vandal
I said, I that's how I let my lovers get the best of me
See it's one more night
Another drink to drown this stage-fright
I'll play one more song and I'll feel so much better
And I'll say thanks for coming, yeah, it's best that I get running
If she wants to come along, I might just let her
You see there's always another dream around the bend
If I can't play for keeps, I'll have to play pretend
Carry on for that next dream just around the bend
Listening for the next song I can call my friend
As this old car careens
I'm heading for those sweet dreams around the bend
She said it's time you started thinking ?bout forever
Make an honest woman of that girl
I said it ain't like she said boy it's now or never
Who am I to bring a child into this world?
To watch me play another show
With twenty-five more towns to go
While the encore keeps him up on past his bedtime
As my lady goes crazy just to keep from getting lazy
While she does her best to hold onto this heart of mine...
You see there's always another dream around the bend
If I can't play for keeps, I guess I'll play pretend
And carry on till that next dream comes around the bend
Listening for the love song that might bring me to the end
As this old car careens
I'm heading for those sweet dreams around the bend
Yeah, to the bitter end, yeah
You see it's one more night
Another shot might make things all right
I'll play one more song and I'll be feeling fine
And I'll head for the back door
Knowing I could have given so much more
As someone whispers hey, you'll get em next time
There's always next time
Cause there's always another dream around the bend
I never play for keeps, I only play pretend
Carry on for that next dream just around the bend
Listening for a love song that might bring me to my end
Yeah there's always another dream around the bend
If I can't play for keeps, I guess I'll play pretend
As this old car careens
I'm heading for those sweet dreams
On up around the bend
On up around the bend...
Holding on to something you can't see
You spray paint your love songs like a vandal
I said, I that's how I let my lovers get the best of me
See it's one more night
Another drink to drown this stage-fright
I'll play one more song and I'll feel so much better
And I'll say thanks for coming, yeah, it's best that I get running
If she wants to come along, I might just let her
You see there's always another dream around the bend
If I can't play for keeps, I'll have to play pretend
Carry on for that next dream just around the bend
Listening for the next song I can call my friend
As this old car careens
I'm heading for those sweet dreams around the bend
She said it's time you started thinking ?bout forever
Make an honest woman of that girl
I said it ain't like she said boy it's now or never
Who am I to bring a child into this world?
To watch me play another show
With twenty-five more towns to go
While the encore keeps him up on past his bedtime
As my lady goes crazy just to keep from getting lazy
While she does her best to hold onto this heart of mine...
You see there's always another dream around the bend
If I can't play for keeps, I guess I'll play pretend
And carry on till that next dream comes around the bend
Listening for the love song that might bring me to the end
As this old car careens

I'm heading for those sweet dreams
On up around the bend
On up around the bend...
