Hey good Lord, would you hold my hand
Lead me on a tour of the promised land
Point out all the richest men
And I'll be sure to take it in, I swear
We'll make it real someday
Hey old friend, would you come back home
I'm still here and I'm all alone
I know that you would find your way
Come back now, it's all okay, I swear
We'll make it real someday
Hey good looking, would you look at me
This ain't the way that it has to be
We'll take my car to Tellico Dam
And I will tell you all of my plans I swear
We'll make it real someday
I'm gonna be somebody...I swear
Hey bartender, would you pour one more
I'm so far from the barroom floor
When I've got angels all around
It's so hard to come back down, but I swear
We'll make it real someday
