[Verse 1]
EFound myself in a barroom
Doin' things I ought not to
Watching life as it slowly passed me F#mby
AI was holding on to lovers
And disregarding oB7thers with my Elies
Living my whole life like this
I guess is risky business
Some folks say that I won't last too F#mlong
And I cAan't say that I blame them
For saying what they're saying
'Cause right now I'm jB7ust holding Eon
[Chorus]
AI'm just an B7old dancehall dEreamer
ALiving my lB7ife in the pEast
AHolding on to dB7reams and them sElow moving tC#mrains
AAnd I don't know how lB7ong I can lEast.
[Verse 2]
ESo I called out to Jesus
Said Lord I really need you
You've go to carry me for a F#mwhile
I've been rAunning too long
Singing these old tired songs
As the wheels keep B7pouring out the Emiles
Like I said I'm just a dreamer
But I've gotta' keep believing
Someday things will go my F#mway
I'm just rAunning from the devil
I've got one foot on the pedal
While the other is laid B7up in the gErave
[Chorus]
AI'm just an B7old dancehall dEreamer
ALiving my lB7ife in the pEast
AHolding on to dB7reams and them sElow moving tC#mrains
AAnd I don't know how lB7ong I can lEast.
AHolding on to dB7reams and them sElow moving tC#mrains
AAnd I don't know how lB7ong I can lEast.

Found myself in a barroom

Doin' things I ought not to

Watching life as it slowly passed me by

I was holding on to lovers

And disregarding others with my lies

Living my whole life like this

I guess is risky business

Some folks say that I won't last too long

And I can't say that I blame them

'Cause right now I'm just holding on

[Chorus]

A B7 E

I'm just an old dancehall dreamer

Living my life in the past

And I don't know how long I can last.

[Verse 2]

So I called out to Jesus

Said Lord I really need you

You've go to carry me for a while

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

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

[Chorus]

A B7 E

I'm just an old dancehall dreamer

A B7 E

Living my life in the past
