Sand in My Shoes

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
