Lyrics of Catalog Dreams by Lisa McHugh
CATALOG DREAMS
She could see herself a-sewin′ on that brand-new machine
As she took the time to look through that mail-order magazine.
It would sure make her life easier with all she has to do,
But fam'ly needs come first; she′ll have to wait a year or two.
And it came from Sears an' Roebuck, a thousand pages long,
Ev'rything from A to Z anyone could ever want.
Puttin′ away a little extra ain′t as easy as it seems,
So way out here we dream catalog dreams.
Dad came in from workin', tired as a dog,
Sat down by the fire, an′ picked up that catalog.
His eyes fell on the tractor with the mowin' arm an′ rake,
But he knew that kind o' money was more than he could ever make.
When supper time was over, Daddy turned to me an′ said:
"You want to do a little dreamin', take that catalog to bed."
Up there in the quiet, layin' all alone,
I stumbled on a page, started a dream all of my own.
′Cause if I could learn to play on that Silvertone guitar,
Maybe make a record, an′ one day be a star,
Daddy'd have his tractor, an′ Mom her new machine.
I'd buy ′em all of their catalog dreams.
And it came from Sears an' Roebuck, a thousand pages long,
Ev′rything from A to Z anyone could ever want.
Puttin' away a little extra ain't as easy as it seems,
So way out here we dream catalog dreams.
I′m gonna buy ′em all of their catalog dreams.
