Around The Bend Lyrics - Tony Lucca

She said how did you become so hard to handle? 

Holding on to something you can't see 

You spray paint your love songs like a vandal 

I said, I that's how I let my lovers get the best of me 

See it's one more night, 

Another drink to drown this stage-fright 

I'll play one more song and I'll feel so much better 

And I'll say thanks for coming, yeah, it's best that I get running 

If she wants to come along, I might just let her 

You see there's always another dream around the bend 

If I can't play for keeps, I'll have to play pretend 

Carry on for that next dream just around the bend, 

Listening for the next song I can call my friend 

As this old car careens, 

I'm heading for those sweet dreams around the bend 

She said it's time you started thinking 'bout forever, 

Make an honest woman of that girl 

I said it ain't like she said boy it's now or never, 

Who am I to bring a child into this world? 

To watch me play another show, 

With twenty-five more towns to go, 

While the encore keeps him up on past his bedtime 

As my lady goes crazy just to keep from getting lazy 

While she does her best to hold onto this heart of mine 

You see there's always another dream around the bend 

If I can't play for keeps, I guess I'll play pretend 

And carry on till that next dream comes around the bend, 

Listening for the love song that might bring me to the end 

As this old car careens, 

I'm heading for those sweet dreams around the bend 

Yeah, to the bitter end, yeah 

You see it's one more night 

Another shot might make things all right 

I'll play one more song and I'll be feeling fine 

And I'll head for the back door, 

Knowing I could have given so much more, 

As someone whispers hey, you'll get em next time 

There's always next time 

Cause there's always another dream around the bend 

I never play for keeps, I only play pretend 

Carry on for that next dream just around the bend, 

Listening for a love song that might bring me to my end 

Yeah there's always another dream around the bend 

If I can't play for keeps, I guess I'll play pretend 

As this old car careens, 

I'm heading for those sweet dreams 

On up around the bend 

On up around the bend
