Lyrics

Planting
© 2014 Starburst/Stuck With Green

I'm planting tires, growing cars, singing songs and counting stars
Running fast, breathing hard, drawing pics and kissing scars
She asked, pray tell, what's that you're growing
Just wait and see the plum tree glowing

(chorus)
Dreams are made of marmalade, chocolate fudge and Escalades
Fortunes come in nines and tens, long before the time was when
The very first, light I saw, brought memories of my dear paw
These many years, he's dead and gone, shortly after I was born

There's bottles hanging from the roof, crystal gems and 90 proof
Paid my dues, stepped on the cracks, tripped a fool and broke my back
May never get to heaven's gate, but sure as heck pursued my fate
The time has come to dance a storm, pick a friend and do no harm

(chorus)
Dreams are made of marmalade, chocolate fudge and Escalades
Fortunes come in nines and tens, long before the time was when
The very first, light I saw, brought memories of my dear paw
These many years, he's dead and gone, shortly after I was born

(bridge)
Sweet and sour came to play, but Mr. fun just ran away
Stop my child don't run and hide, teacher's pet is on your side

(chorus)
Dreams are made of marmalade, chocolate fudge and Escalades
Fortunes come in nines and tens, long before the time was when
The very first, light I saw, brought memories of my dear paw
These many years, he's dead and gone, shortly after I was born
