Dreamgirl Lyrics
Yeah, Ya, Yeah
Yeah, Ya, Yeah OH.
I would dig a hole all the way to China,
Unless of course I was there,
Then I'd dig my way home.
If by digging, I could steal,
The wind from the sails of the greater men who ruled the world.
Still you my best friend,
And after a good good drunk,
You and me,
Wake up and make love after a deep sleep.
Where I was dreaming,
I was dreaming of a dreamgirl, dreamgirl, dreamgirl, dreamgirl.
Well I was feeling like a creep,
As I watched you asleep.
Face down in the grass,
In the park in the middle of a hot afternoon.
Your top was untied,
And I thought 'how nice it'll be the fall of your sweat down your spine.'
You're my best friend,
Or after a good good drunk,
You and me,
Wake up and make love after a deep sleep.
Where I was dreaming,
I was dreaming of a dreamgirl, dreamgirl, dreamgirl, dreamgirl.
Caught by the wave my back to the ocean,
It knocks me off feeling, just as I find my footing.
Here you come again, dreamgirl, oh Dreamgirl, that's all dreamgirl, but I Dreamgirl, dreamgirl, oh wait dreamgirl,
In my dreams dreamgirl, I'm dreaming dream girl,
Deep in deep in.
Yeah, Ya, Yeah OH.
Unless of course I was there,
Then I'd dig my way home.
If by digging, I could steal,
The wind from the sails of the greater men who ruled the world.
And after a good good drunk,
You and me,
Wake up and make love after a deep sleep.
Where I was dreaming,
I was dreaming of a dreamgirl, dreamgirl, dreamgirl, dreamgirl.
As I watched you asleep.
Face down in the grass,
In the park in the middle of a hot afternoon.
Your top was untied,
And I thought 'how nice it'll be the fall of your sweat down your spine.'
Or after a good good drunk,
You and me,
Wake up and make love after a deep sleep.
Where I was dreaming,
I was dreaming of a dreamgirl, dreamgirl, dreamgirl, dreamgirl.
It knocks me off feeling, just as I find my footing.
Here you come again, dreamgirl, oh Dreamgirl, that's all dreamgirl, but I Dreamgirl, dreamgirl, oh wait dreamgirl,
In my dreams dreamgirl, I'm dreaming dream girl,
Deep in deep in.

I think the "after a good good drunk" lyric could actually be literally translated to "after a good good drink (or series of drinks)" but is pronouced "drunk" to capture the essence of the state of being drunk. He did something similar in the Bartender Please intro to Nancies at the Central Park Concert when he says "I wasn't plannin' on gettin' druuunk tonite"- it's the slurred speech of belligerence. This one single word within the song ("drunk") completely captures an entire experience, not because of the word itself but the WAY he sings that one word.
This is a great new Dave song with a great African yet American vibe to it, just liek Dave 'emself. The lyrics remind me a lot of Crash. Since in Crash he is peering at the girl through her window and here a gril at a park and beach. This song is proabably about it wife, I think.
Great song tho', love it
I agree, it takes after Crash little bit. Nice opener to the new album coming out in TWO DAYS!
This song is one of the 14 great songs on Daves new cd! The CD Rocks! best yet:) Took awhile Well worth the wait! Rapunzel99 if u have msn mess add me
It's no wonder the ladies love Dave! This song is TO DIE FOR! A great selection to start off this long awaited album. And so far, the entire album is fantastic.
As for his meaning behind this tune: his deep infatuation with the one he not only loves, but lusts after, too. Someone he sees as his friend, too. She's his DREAMGIRL. What girl doesn't long to be someone's dreamgirl from time to time?
Dave's the master of lyrical poetry!
what does it mean by "after a good good drunk" though, thats the only line that confuses me
I think it means that good drunks are usually good listeners or perhaps that they are so talkative about their problems that yours don't seem so bad anymore. Whatever the case, I think he's talking about a drunk person.
He's saying after a good good drunk.. meaning like a good buzz from drinking.. meanin he's feelin good
Best song of off Stand Up!! Such a amazing way to start the album off.
this is as close to being with another as dave can get. his dreamgirl passes through the space between that all others around the world cannot get through. only by living in the reality of his dreams can he get closer to his loved ones that hes constantly thinking of. come on...try thinking he's a drop of sweat running down the back of his friend? theres the space.. only in his dreams can he acheive being closer as one with as a man with his dreamgirl... like sex..we try to get close to our loved ones but theres always that space between...so we dream to be closer..
