   Won't you take my hand
   Won't you be my friend
   Take my advice, go away
   When the days get short and the chips  are down
   Will you be there, will you stick  around
 And if thou shalt give
 Thou shalt be deceived
 This traveling band was not well received
 No open arms or reception lines
 Just handlebars wearing five point stars
   Am I living in your dream
   We got the guns, we got the guns
   A thousand to one, a thousand to one
 He's  the man, he's  the man
 He's  the man who loved life
 Served  by different stories
 Am  I living in your dreams
 Pretty  metal green
 Can  I ride upon  your wings so free
 In the canyon walls there's a trusty lot
 The stakes were high
 The sun was hot
 You can rest assured as casinos rise
 Buzz around my ears like the dragonflies
 Am I living in your dream
 We've got the guns, we've got the guns
 A thousand to one, a thousand to one
 He's the man, he's the man
 He's the man who loved life
 Served from different shores
 Am I living in your dream
 Pretty metal green
 Am I living in your dream, so real
 Heard a million stories
 Am I living in your dream
 Pretty metal green
 Am I living in your dream
