Dean Martin - A Place in the Shade lyrics

Now some folks play the whole day long
They think they got it made
But they won't get a thrill
The way that I live
When I find me a place in the shade

A poor man word is never
Learned still I wouldn't trade
All the world and it's gold
All the treasures untold
I want a little place in the shade

Too late to bed and early to rise
Makes a man weary and cuts him down the size
They come and they go and
Their worlds fall apart
But, I'm gonna cling to the
Dreams in my heart

'Cause someday I know the years gonna come
When all my debts are paid
When my work is all done
I'll smile at the sun
And find me a place in the shade

When the work is all done
I'll smile at the sun
And find me a place in the shade
