Sometimes I imagine myself as a drifter                              Seeker of fortunes connoisseur of great wines                       Dashing through meadows of yellow and green              Trying to catch the impossible dream      Leaving the straight life  b-e-h-i-n-d          Sometimes my thoughts may find me in  Mexico                                Drinking tequila going out of my mind                   Having a ball on a couple of bob     Treating the ladies to corn on the cob   Leaving the straight life  b-e-h-i-n-d          Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear She comes to me softly with crackers and beer          Winking and blinking and blowing my ear running away with my m-i-n-d                                                It’s great to be in love I’m not really thinking of        Leaving the straight life behind       I’m just playing a game in my mind                                    Do Do Do Do (do do do do)    Do Do Do Do ( do do do ) etc.                                                                                         Once in a while in my mind I go    a - b u m m i n?                Going to nowhere with no worry of time                 Running along chasing after a train         Humming a song in the sun and the rain      Leaving the straight life  b-e-h-i-n-d          I can just see me on a tropical island               Riding the surf and drinking coconut wine                  Having me fun with golden girls in the sand        Chasing the sun through an innocent land            Leaving the straight life  b-e-h-i-n-d           Repeat  Chorus  and  fade
