I Took A Walk Around The Yard

I Dug The Flowers Till It Got Too Hard

Smoked My First Pack Of Cigarettes Today

Then I Went Down, Down To Lucy?s Old Cafe

I Put A Half A Case Away

Took A Sleeping Pill And I Tried To Watch TV

But You Know Baby, The Leading Lady

Looked Too Much Like You For The Likes Of Me



And I Woke Up Crying In My Sleep

I Was Talking To Your Pillow

And I Reached Out To Touch Your Hand

And Knocked The Phone Off The Night Stand

An The Operator Said "Can I Help You Please?"

And I Said "No Thanks Baby, Tonight There Ain?t No Help For Me,

You Know I Just Had A Bad Dream."

That?s All That?s Wrong With Me

You See I Just Had A Bad Dream.



Went Out To Loosen Up The Car

Somehow I Wound Up At The Rainbow Bar

I Had A Scotch And Soda On The Run

But I Didn?t Get Too Far.

I Ran Down Some Friends I Used To Know,

I Dragged Them Out To See The Show

I Ran Myself A Bath And I Tried To Read Your Book

But You Know Baby, This Time It Just Didn?t Seem

Worth All The Time It Took



And I Woke Up Crying In My Sleep

I Was Talking To Your Pillow

And I Reached Out To Touch Your Hand

And Knocked The Phone Off The Night Stand

An The Operator Said "Can I Help You Please?"

And I Said "No Thanks Baby, Tonight There Ain?t No Help For Me,

You Know I Just Had A Bad Dream."

That?s All That?s Wrong With Me

You See I Just Had A Bad Dream.
