Escaping Reality Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Every night I go to bed
Afraid I'm gonna die
Prayin' to the sky
That I'll survive

Morning's when I wake up
The sunlight in my eyes
I turn and wonder why
I'm still alive

So every now and then I steal away
To the place I know far away

You can find me on a tropic island
Sailin' on a crystal sea
Blue skies above
Happy as I can be

In my own milk and honey byland
Sleepin' underneath a tree
I'm dreamin' of love
Escaping reality

I considered everybody else
Before myself
On my list
I'm twelfth priority
