Something from a Dream

You shoulda seen me back in '46
I was in uniform spit shined whippet thin hard as
A brick dumb as a post but I was havin'
The time of my life
And I met franny there in italy
Boy she was beautiful but all those guys around her
Look italians no offense the laziest people in the world
And to me she looked like something from a dream
And to her I'm like the conquerin' american
I'm gonna take her on a trip this year
We'll bring the harvest in and then take a couple
Days maybe a weekend at the fort des moines once
We get past christmas and the kids are back in
School
I mean it's not like she complains at all
It's just you gotta pay attention
With all the other crap I'm takin' care of she
Might feel embarrassed takin' time to tell me what she
Needs
And to me she's still like something from a dream
And to her I'm like the guy who keeps the
Lights turned on
I'm gonna take her on a trip this year
Maybe next summer
Not like we're gonna have the money for vacations
I guess we'll figure something out
