lyrics

Tried so hard to explain
The way things are and how quick they can change
But you never listened you just turned your head
Never even heard a single word that he said
While it's true now that I'm not a saint
I felt pain when you live to hate
Said it before and I'll say it again
Leave me alone man or treat me like a friend

I had a dream last night
Everybody's laughing and everything was alright
Still some hope in sight, that was last night

I had a dream last night
Nobody's crying, nobody's frightened
Still some hope in sight, that was last night

Well if it seems like I sound like the rest
We're trying hard not to be too depressed
Once they take everything I've left, it's so easy
So if you're dreaming I hhope that you do
Wish for the best and hope that it comes true
Who knows what they'll leave when they're through

I had a dream last night
Everybody's laughing and everything was alright
Still some hope in sight, that was last night

I had a dream last night
Nobody's crying, nobody's frightened
Still some hope in sight, that was last night

about

The Long Ryders Los Angeles, California

The Long Ryders founded alt-country with their 1984 album, Native Sons, and helped codify and popularise Americana throughout their career. Crossing Byrds/Buffalo Springfield electric guitars and harmonies with a Sex Pistols/Ramones rhythm section was their idea and their legacy. Their signature songs Looking For Lewis And Clark and I Had A Dream have never left the airwaves. ... more

The version of 'Every Country's Sun' is so grand and full of pride and loss that it should be over Match of the Day highlights when Scotland get kicked out of major football tournaments.
