Daydreaming of nights

You once said I read too much Le Carré

or maybe Guevara, which could be true

but I’m really just a hillbilly at heart

with dreams of going to Chile with you

on a fast boat running guns, but no más

because you, you can dream forever

without ever remembering who I was

lying in your bed somewhere in Argentina

reading Borges, wearing that black beret

you brought with you from Bolivia, sweet

Olivia, daydreaming of nights with Che.
