Out Of Dream

(reba mcentire)

My daddy is a rancher
He's wrangled cattle dang near all his life
He also liked to rodeo
He traveled around with four kids and a wife

Well his old ranch is rocky
But his ropes sail smooth for several years
He worked real hard
And roped real good
And tried to get his ranch out in the clear

He didn't want us kids to rodeo
He wanted more out of life for us
Maybe banking, or a lawyer
Or maybe even driving some old bus

Well that's when we took up singing
And his pride grew greater day by day
And i know his eyes grew misty
The night i sang up on the opry stage

Chorus:
Now his ranch is so much bigger
The the days when he first started
The grass grows now where none used to be
His roping got him started
Cattle prices made it better
And he's trying to get his ranch out in the clear

Five years ago september, he bought more steers and hung up all his
Ropes
But he often tells the stories about the rodeos he won and cowboy jokes
Well it's funny that the first big roping that he won some thirty years
Ago
Was the same day that i sang on the stage of the grand old opry show

Repeat chorus

Now he's feeding cattle
Toting hay
And branding the y.o.
And his hired hand's there to help him
And she also cooks their meals when they get home
They built their ranch together
And listening to the kids sing through the years

Well they worked real hard and roped real good and now they got their
Ranch
Out in the clear
Because when a family works together
They finally get their ranch out in the clear
Out in the clear

(jerry leiber, mike stoller)

Well i can wash out forty four pairs of socks
And have 'em on the line
You know i can starch and iron two dozen shirts
'fore you can count from one to nine
I can slip up a great big dip up of lard from a drippings can
Throw it in the skillet, do my shopping, and be back before it melts in
The
Pan

Chorus:
Cause i'm a woman
W-o-m-a-n
Let me tell ya again
I'm a woman
W-o-m-a-n

Well i can rub and scrub till this house shines just like a dime
Feed the baby
Grease the car
Powder my nose at the same time

You know i can get all dressed up
Go out swinging with the m-a-n
Jump in bed at five
Sleep till 6
And start all over again

Repeat chorus

Well now if you come to me sick you know that i'm gonna make you well
And if you come to me all hexed up you know i'm gonna break the spell
And if you come to me hungry, you know
I'll feed ya full of my grits
And if it's loving you want, i can kiss you and give you the shivering
Fits

Repeat chorus
(i'll say it again)

Well, i got a twenty dollar gold fee that says there's nothing that i
Can't do
Well i can make a dress out of feeding sacks and i can make a man out
Of you

Repeat chorus

I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
Yeah i'm a woman

(don gibson)

Sweet dreams of you
Every night i go through
Why can't i forget you
And start my life new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

You don't love me
It's plain
I should have known
I'd never wear your ring
I should hate you
The whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

Why can't i forget the past
And start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

(jerry fuller)

So you like sunday picnics
And yelling at the umpire at a baseball game
Window shopping, popcorn popping
Wading through the puddle in a summer rain
And i'll bet you're kind to children and
Someday you'd like to be a mother too
And do you got a feeling when you're with me the way i do

Chorus:
Well that makes two of us
We're like birds of a feather
True love brings together
A precious few of us
That makes two of us

So you believe in wishes
While blowing out the candles on a birthday cake
Gentle hugs and lightning bugs
Staying up all night to watch the morning break
We've got so much in common
Given half a chance i'm sure you'll agree
One way to sum up forever is you and me

Repeat chorus

(bob morrison, jim zerface, bill zerface)

I watch you as you wake and rub your eyes and try to hide them from the

Morning sun
I whisper how ya doing and you smile and say so tenderly good morning
Hun

Chorus:
Last night you made his memory fade a little
You helped me see how love can still be right
I wish you didn't have to leave
If you just knew how much i need
Last night, ev'ry night

I know you have to catch a plane to memphis
And you mentioned it's an early flight
You start to pack
And while i comb my hair
I stare at you and think about last night

Cause (repeat chorus)

I slip into my robe to go make coffee
You come in and pull me close to you
And as i feel your tender kiss
I whisper can't memphis wait a day or two
Cause (repeat chorus)

Cause (repeat chorus)
