Bob Seger — Leanin On My Dream

[Verse 1] I was walkin' to the corner drug store What should I happen to see? There were picket lines And the people were shoutin' "Down with democracy" As I strolled on by someone grabbed my arm and said "Buddy where do you stand"? I said "I stand wherever I choose my friend And you best let go of my hand" As I walked away on a sunny day I swear I heard him scream "You know you're leanin' on my dream" "Hey man you're leanin on my dream" [Verse 2] Got home and turned on the TV set And sat me down to eat And a man came on Talkin' bout the coppers They were blockin' off another street Seems some folks was raisin' cain And a riot had broke out And they flashed the camera on the guy who had stopped me I watched him runnin' about As the cops were draggin' him away I heard one of 'em scream "You know you're leanin' on my dream" "These kids are leanin' on my dream" Oh yeah [Verse 3] Well I got up and turned off the TV set And to tell you I was feelin' mean And I thought a while Tryin to make some sense Out of everything that I had seen I was addin' the score when there's a knock on the door Was a letter addressed to me It read "Greetings from the Pesident, United States" I fell down on my knees The next day I was on the picket line And Lord you should have heard me scream "You know you're leanin' on my dream" "Hey man you're leanin' on my dream" [Outro] Oh, you know you're leanin' on my dream Oh, leanin' on my dream Leanin', leanin', yeah Oh, on my dream
