"In My Own Dream" lyrics - THE PAUL BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND

I didn't know.
I was such a fool.
And it took me a long time,
Just to find out,
That my head,
Is upside down.
What I was standing on,
You know, it wasn't too solid ground, oh no.
To satisfy, (To satisfy)
What I thought I'd be, (What I thought I'd be)
I kept on living, ooo, yeah, (I kept on living)
In my own dreams. (In my own dream)
And everyday, (Everyday)
I grew blinder. (Everday)
Thought I was so strong, (So much stronger)
I didn't need nobody's help.
Oh, the strongest river, (Oooo)
Can't flow up hill, wo, no.
To satisfy, (To satisfy, oh yeah)

What I thought I'd be, oo, yeah (What I thought I'd be)
I kept on living, (I kept on living)
In my own dream. (In my own dream)
You know, the tides of love, yeah
Are so strong.
You know, it carried me back
And showed me my wrong, yeah, ooo.
To satisfy (To satisfy)
Yeah, what I thought I'd be (What I thought I'd be)
I kept on living, oo, yeah (I kept on living)
In my own dream. (In my own dream)
Fading:
Now, everyday (Everyday)
I grew blinder (Everyday)
Thought I was strong (So much stronger)
I didn't need nobody. (Ooooo)
But the strongest river
Can't flow uphill, oh no
To satisfy, ooo (To satisfy)
What I thought I'd be (What I thought I'd be)
