lyrics

Tumblin‘ Dominoes

Used to have a future, bright and strong
now the years have gone by but my day never come
drew up a plan, concocted these schemes
but all I ever gained was responsibility

I used to think that I could make it anywhere
these days I’m lucky if I can keep going, never mind the getting there

All my goals are slippin‘ out of reach, I know
Don't know when but I guess I must've peaked long ago
Had all my dreams lined up in neat little rows
t-t-t-tumblin‘ dominoes

I ain't come far but I can't go back
my wife and my ex, they’re still expecting my checks
now it's another town and another stage
fallin‘ just short of glory and minimum wage

I used to wish for a life in rock'n'roll
Now I'm living the dream but it’s not what I was told 

All my goals are slippin‘ out of reach, I know
Don't know when but I guess I must've peaked long ago
no big deal, I don’t suppose
t-t-t-tumblin‘ dominoes

All my goals are slipping out of reach, I know
Don't know when but I guess I must've peaked long ago
no big deal, I don't suppose
that’s just the way it always goes
you got all your dreams lined up in neat little rows
t-t-t tumblin‘ dominoes
