Biography:
Pat Green was born in San Antonio and raised in Waco, Texas, the eighth of nine siblings. His father was a stage actor, and Green fell in love with the musicals his father acted in.
Green began his musical career when he was 18 and in college at Texas Tech in Lubbock. "I started playing guitar to pick up the chicks," Green laughs. "Before that, I only sang in the shower. I could mimic other people's voices. It took me a long time to find my own voice, but once I did, I became very comfortable with it.

VERSE 1:
E
Found myself in a barroom
Doin' things I ought not to
F#m
Watching life as it slowly passed me by
A
I was holding on to lovers
B7 E
And disregarding others with my lies
Living my whole life like this
I guess is risky business
F#m
Some folks say that I won't last too long
A
And I can't say that I blame them
For saying what they're saying
B7 E
'Cause right now I'm just holding on
CHORUS:
A B7 E
I'm just an old dancehall dreamer
A B7 E
Living my life in the past
A B7 E C#m
Holding on to dreams and them slow moving trains
A B7 E
And I don't know how long I can last.
VERSE 2:
E
So I called out to Jesus
Said Lord I really need you
F#m
You've go to carry me for a while
A
I've been running too long
Singing these old tired songs
B7 E
As the wheels keep pouring out the miles
Like I said I'm just a dreamer
But I've gotta' keep believing
F#m
Someday things will go my way
A
I'm just running from the devil
I've got one foot on the pedal
B7 E
While the other is laid up in the grave
REPEAT CHORUS
BREAK - play CHORUS chords
REPEAT CHORUS
A B7 E C#m
Holding on to dreams and them slow moving trains
A B7 E
And I don't know how long I can last.
