Frank the Dixie Line Dreamer

Lyrics

[Verse]
Down by the Dixie Line
Frank's got the phone
Orders come in
But the details are blown
Wrong size
Wrong fit
This tale's getting old
Timbers and nails
But dreams are sold

[Verse 2]
Maple for mahogany
Cedar for pine
Customer's yelling
“Frank
Get in line!”
His head in the clouds
His thoughts often stray
Frank's on his break
More than he's at play

[Chorus]
Frank's a dreamer
In the backroom he lays
Thinking of sunsets
And island days
Phones ringing loud
But Frank don't hear
Lost in a world that's far but near

[Bridge]
He'll ask for sheets of copper
Though none be found
Sells planks of mist and lumber unbound
Frank's got a heart that's golden and bright
But ordering wood
He can't get it right

[Verse 3]
Boss man's a-yelling
"Frank
Where you been?"
Caught in a nap
Or a daydream spin
In a world of his own
Where waves gently roll
Selling timber while he's stealing souls

[Chorus]
Frank's a dreamer
In the backroom he lays
Thinking of sunsets
And island days
Phones ringing loud
But Frank don't hear
Lost in a world that's far but near
