written by K. Kristofferson Corrections welcome. INTRO: Shandy was somebody's daughter Driving to something insane They busted her crossin the border Swift as a sniff of cocaine All she could pay was attention So all they could take was her time Proving an ounce of possession Ain't worth a piece of your mind 'Cause nightmares are somebody's daydreams Daydreams are somebody's lies Lies ain't no harder than telling the truth Truth is the perfect disguise Locked in the gold-handled bathroom Martin was chaning his mind Shedding his humble pretentions One careful toke at a time And wiping the mask off the man in the mirror Who really was Billy the Kid Smilin at somebody dyin For something that he never did CHORUS Soon as he sat down beside her Shining like Saturday night Shandy was his for the savin Sweet as she looked in the light And maybe they moved from the bar to the bedroom Maybe just stood there instead Martin woke up and screamin Dreamin of blood on the bed CHORUS
