I used to dream I’d be an astronaut
Fly up high to the deep space spot
Collect samples up on Mars
Get up close to them shootin’ stars
I used to dream I’d be the president
Start a war, run the government
“Hail to the chief” wherever I’d go
Eatin free lunches in the Oval O.
But there’s more to life than dreaming big dreams
There’s hot summer nights and warm bowls of cream
There’s little shiny things you can’t help but touch
There’s a cool leather seat and your paw on the clutch
There’s a half-dead mouse on the lawn
Blink your eyes and the moment will be gone
You live for now you don’t live for then
You get nine lives you don’t get ten
You can curl up in a young girl’s lap
You can have yourself a little human cat nap
I used to dream of normal life
A job, a house, kids and wife
You can try to be something you ain't
Or you can live on the street and savor each day
Cuz there’s more to life than dreaming big dreams
There’s hot summer nights and warm bowls of cream
You can use your claws to climb up walls
You can clean yourself by licking your nuts
There’s a half-dead mouse on the lawn
Blink your eyes and the moment will be gone
I’m a cat born in a human’s body
I know I'm meant to be a cat to somebody
I’m a human cat in Tennessee
If you want a human cat please call me
