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
