I came to the party a little late, I'd been drinkin' and I didn't have a date Walked inside, everybody's there, smilin' faces everywhere It's great to hear what you've done with your lives--everybody's children, everybody's wives We all danced we were singin' to the beat, but when the music stopped they all took a seat When a handsome man came over to me, said he's so proud I'm livin' my dream Said "What's it like, the travelin' life? I don't believe you've met my wife...." And they said, "We're so proud, we're so pleased, we're so glad that you're livin' your dream, livin' your dream" Harvey Wade and a woman in pearls pa**ed around pictures of their pretty little girls "Didn't you hear, didn't you know? The music stopped a long time ago." Everybody sat down, they all took a seat, now the only one standin' was me The music stopped for you, I see, but that song still plays for me My first boyfried and his beautiful wife, I'm playin' their town next Saturday night Did I wait too long, travelin' along? Did the music stop? I still hear the song. I still hear the song And they said, "We're so proud, we're so pleased, we're so glad that you're livin your dream, livin' your dream."
