VERSE 1:
E
Found myself in a barroom

Doin' things I ought not to
                                    F#m
Watching life as it slowly passed me by
A
I was holding on to lovers
                  B7            E
And disregarding others with my lies

Living my whole life like this

I guess is risky business
                                     F#m
Some folks say that I won't last too long
       A
And I can't say that I blame them

For saying what they're saying
                      B7          E
'Cause right now I'm just holding on

CHORUS:
A           B7             E
I'm just an old dancehall dreamer
A          B7          E
Living my life in the past
A              B7              E           C#m
Holding on to dreams and them slow moving trains
A                     B7         E
And I don't know how long I can last.

VERSE 2:
E
So I called out to Jesus

Said Lord I really need you
                            F#m
You've go to carry me for a while
           A
I've been running too long

Singing these old tired songs
                   B7              E
As the wheels keep pouring out the miles

Like I said I'm just a dreamer

But I've gotta' keep believing
                          F#m
Someday things will go my way
          A
I'm just running from the devil

I've got one foot on the pedal
                        B7         E
While the other is laid up in the grave

REPEAT CHORUS

BREAK - play CHORUS chords

REPEAT CHORUS

A              B7              E           C#m
Holding on to dreams and them slow moving trains
A                     B7         E
And I don't know how long I can last.

REPEAT 1/2 INTRO
