Somethin' to Believe In

Somethin' to Believe In Lyrics

(featuring Shawn Colvin)
(Shawn Mullins)

I've never been the one
Who had my head on straight
So I gave myself this job
Now I'm waitin' at the gate
For my bag to be inspected
For some crazy reason
I am always suspected
Of smugglin' somethin' thru
Like smoke or dope or airplane glue
The sergeant waves me thru

And I know you've got something to believe in
Down deep inside your soul
Hey friend don't you stop believin'
In the dreams that you had
When you were just a lad

Bare down
Take another town
And station by storm
Crank up the tunes beneath the full moon
And the Carolina corn
But don't let it pass you by
'cause someday you'll wake up
Askin' yourself why
You sat there at your desk
Suckin' on a corporate breast
You turned out like the rest

And I know you've got something to believe in
Down deep inside your soul
Hey friend don't you stop believin'
In the dreams that you had
When you were just a lad

Hey you
Check out the view
Winding down the 1
Me and the miss
Sharin' bliss
And soakin' up the sun
And I feel like I've been resurrected
In my lifetime I have
Never felt protected
And loved like I do
When I am here with you
Only You

And I know you've got something to believe in
Down deep inside your desperate soul
Hey friend don't you stop believin'
In the dreams that you had
(The dreams that we all had)
When you were just a lad
