From the recording Danny Britt - Texas Stuff
Lyrics
I knew a girl by the name of Alice
That spent three long years in a snow-covered palace
Dreaming the dreams of her life everlasting
She was just out there in a white wind blasting
And she says
I’m a long way from where it is I’m going
Where I’m bound
I sure ain’t knowing
It’ll probably be where there’s some green grass growing
Or some sunny beach where the free winds blowing
Old JB owns as far as he can see
He says there’s no time to lose and nothings for free
But he can make the gold shine and the silver ring
And can’t get enough of what that money brings
And he says
Chorus
Seems to me we’re all the same in dreams
We’re never satisfied with the lives we lead
Maybe it’s time we put it on the line
Free your mind
Hell it ain’t no crime
SOLO
Then there’s Jake says he’s got no stake
He just wants to be says it’s all a fake
With his chains of gold and his diamond rings
Can’t get enough of those bar room queens
And he says..
Chorus
