Sand in My Shoes
Jefferson Berry / Charlie O’Hay
Last Night I dreamed I did
a bad thing
I dreamed that I was
Sincerely sorry
I dreamed that afterward
I wandered the city
Sucking on a plastic bottle
A Fifth of Vodka
I dreamed the sun slept
Only for a few moments
Then crept like a cougar
On the horizon
The avenues filled with people who
Did not sleep, I dreamed
I was sharing my bottle
With the dogs in the street
My conscience lives like
Sand in My Shoes
Don’t know how it got there
But I know it’s nothing new
But it’s an old dream on repeat
Yo, Play it Again
Unlimited refills
A party that never ends
I dreamed the person I hurt
Had me arrested
Cuffed me up by the
Dawn’s early light
I was one of the guys in
Orange Jump Suits
I had my own number
Five-Five-Zero-Five
My conscience lives like
Sand in My Shoes
Don’t know how it got there
But I know it’s nothing new
But it’s an old dream on repeat
Yo, Play it Again
A cherry blossom gimmick
A nightmare that never ends
dreamed of dark blue walls
Taller than the sky
I dreamed the prison shrink
Was asking me questions
I dreamed he said “Young Man
You did a real, bad thing
And now you’re gonna pay
No rehab for you
You and your stupid dreams
He didn’t say nothing bout the
Sand in my Shoes
