my imagined future’s where I spend the day
there everybody loves me, and the music pays and
strangers stop to ask me why I wrote this song
in my imagined future…

in my imagined future, I pay all the bills
with a little cash left over for a few cheap thrills
and everyone looks up to me for what I’ve done,
it’s my imagined future, let it never come
+++ just bring me back to you,
+++ let me hear the sounds all around me,
+++ let a little light surround me
+++ with a real day, and a real love…

in my imagined future I don’t work too hard
‘cause I’ve made a lot of money as a 2-bit bard and
strangers stand in line to hear me play my hits
in my imagined future, I’m so full of it
+++ bring me back to you,
+++ let me hear the sounds all around me,
+++ let a little light surround me
+++ with a real day, and a real love…
