Brad is in Graceland? Or just Dreamland?

Different Drum

“You and I travel to the beat of a different drum

Oh can’t you tell by the way I run

Every time you make eyes at me

Wo-oh

You cry and moan and say it will work out

But honey child I’ve got my doubts

You can’t see the forest for the trees

So, don’t get me wrong It’s not that I’m knockin’

It’s just that I’m not in the market

For a boy who wants to love only me

Yes, and I ain’t sayin’ you ain’t pretty

All I’m sayin’s I’m not ready for any person

Place or thing to try and pull the reins in on me

So Goodbye, I’ll be leavin’

I see no sense in the cryin’ and grievin’

We’ll both live a lot longer if you live without me"

By Michael Nesmith Best sung by Linda Ronstadt although Elvis could have done it justice

And, of course:

“When I want you in my arms

When I want you and all your charms

Whenever I want you

All I have to do is dream

Dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night

And I need you to hold me tight

Whenever I want you

All I have to do is dream

I can make you mine

Taste your lips of wine

Anytime night or day

Only trouble is

Gee whiz

I’m dreamin’ my life away"

by Boudleaux Bryant, sung well by The Everly Brothers “All I Have To Do Is Dream”
