Dreamgirl Lyrics by Dave Matthews BandI would dig a hole all the way to China
Unless of course I was there
then I’d dig my way home
If by diggin’ I could steal
the wind from the sails
of the greedy men who ruled the world

Still you’re my best friend
And after a good, good drunk
You and me wake up and make love after a deep sleep
Where I was Dreamin’, I was Dreamin’ of a
Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl

I was feelin’ 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’d be to follow the sweat down your spine

You’re like my best friend
aw after a good, good drunk
You and me wake up and make love after a deep sleep
Where I was Dreamin’, I was Dreamin’ of a
Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl

Caught by a wave
my back to the ocean
it knocks me off my feet and
just as I find my footing
here you come again
Dreamgirl, aww Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl

This source was produced by Dave Matthews. This song has most likely been produced for entertainment purposes. This song is about a man who is daydreamining via song about a girl that he seems to be infatuated with. It is very easy to argue that the speaker of this song is a little loopy. It is foolish to say that a person would actually dig a hole to china for a woman. Although we know this is not meant literally, we are shown how much love the person has for this “dreamgirl” by the extent of his willingness. Out of context the line “I watched you fall asleep face down in the grass in the park in the middle of the afternoon. Your top was untied and I thought how nice it would be to follow the sweat down your spine.” It seems as though the speaker is not a lover, but a stalker of the woman. The overall effect of this song is meant to be an intimate love song to a woman, maybe Dave Matthews had a particular one in mind when he wrote the song. However, you can’t help but get a sense of desperate longing, and unhealthly want for this dreamgirl. I guess the saying “you drive me crazy”, in the love sense, fits perfectly!
