Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Escaping Reality lyrics

Every night I go to bed Afraid I'm gonna die Prayin' to the sky That I'll survive Morning's when I wake up The sunlight in my eyes I turn and wonder why I'm still alive So every now and then I steal away To the place I know far away You can find me on a tropic island Sailin' on a crystal sea Blue skies above Happy as I can be In my own milk and honey byland Sleepin' underneath a tree I'm dreamin' of love Escaping reality I considered everybody else Before myself On my list I'm twelfth priority I've givin' up most everything I've had in search of wealth Lost my mental health And sanity So when these blues chase my smiles away I go to a place miles away You can find me on a tropic island Sailin' on a crystal sea Blue skies above Happy as I can be In my own milk and honey byland Sleepin' underneath a tree I'm dreamin' of love Escaping reality Yes, I'm dreamin' of love Escaping reality
