In My Own Dream

The Paul Butterfield Blues Band

Lead vocal                             Chorus
I didn't know.
I was such a fool.
And it took me a long time,
Just to find out,
That my head,
Is upside down.
What I was standing on,
You know, it wasn't too solid ground, oh no.
To satisfy,                         (Chorus: To satisfy)
What I thought I'd be,              (Chorus: What I thought I'd be)   
I kept on living, ooo, yeah,        (Chorus: I kept on living)
In my own dreams.                   (Chorus: In my own dream)
And everyday,                       (Chorus: Everyday)
I grew blinder.                     (Chorus: Everday)
Thought I was so strong,            (Chorus: So much stronger)
I didn't need nobody's help.
Oh, the strongest river,            (Chorus: Oooo)
Can't flow up hill, wo, no.
To satisfy,                         (Chorus: To satisfy, oh yeah)
What I thought I'd be, oo, yeah     (Chorus: What I thought I'd be)
I kept on living,                   (Chorus: I kept on living)
In my own dream.                    (Chorus: In my own dream)
You know, the tides of love, yeah
Are so strong.
You know, it carried me back
And showed me my wrong, yeah, ooo.
To satisfy (Chorus: To satisfy)
Yeah, what I thought I'd be          (Chorus: What I thought I'd be)
I kept on living, oo, yeah           (Chorus: I kept on living)
In my own dream.                     (Chorus: In my own dream)
Fading:
Now, everyday                        (Chorus: Everyday)
I grew blinder                       (Chorus: Everyday)
Thought I was strong                 (Chorus: So much stronger)
I didn't need nobody.                (Chorus: Ooooo)  
But the strongest river
Can't flow uphill, oh no
To satisfy, ooo                      (Chorus: To satisfy)
What I thought I'd be                (Chorus: What I thought I'd be)
