The Song of Maybes

I got a bucket full of rain

I got your heart inside my locket

I have no more lies and no more tales to tell

I hear the thumping of the train

I hear the jinglin' in my pockets

I spent half of my life in bars and cheap motels

 

I sold all of my dreams

For a nickel and a dime

And I could take on the world in a sweep

But I never took the time

 

Chorus

So everybody sing along the song of maybes

I did all the best that I could

So goodbye my pretty baby

I'll be off to hollywood

 

Maybe you're seein' someone else

Maybe you're lost behind your window

Maybe you've found a smart way to occupy your mind

Maybe you curl up in a shell

Or dig a hole into your pillow

There may be bigger fish to catch and more treasures left to find

 

Maybe you'll stand your ground

Or escape in full retreat

Or maybe you'll take a chance

And decide to join me dancing in the streets

 

Chorus

So everybody sing along the song of maybes

I did all the best that I could

So goodbye my pretty baby

I'll be off to hollywood

 

Chorus

So everybody sing along the song of maybes

I did all the best that I could

So goodbye my pretty baby

I'll be off to hollywood
