Way back on the radio dial
The fire got lit inside a bright-eyed child
Every note just wrapped around his soul
From steel guitars to Memphis
All the way to rock and roll
Oh,
I can hear them playing I can hear
the ringing of a beat-up old guitar
Oh,
I can hear them singing Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
Downtown's where I used to wander Old enough
to get there but too young to get inside
So I would stand out on the sidewalk Listen
to the music playing every Friday night
Oh,
I can hear them playing I can hear
the ringing of a beat-up old guitar
Oh,
I can hear them singing Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
Some dreams stay with you forever Drag
you around and bring you back to where
you were Some dreams keep on getting better
Gotta keep believing if you wanna know for sure
Oh,
I can hear them playing I can hear
the ringing of a beat-up old guitar
Oh,
I can hear them singing Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
Oh,
I can hear them playing I can hear
the ringing of a beat-up old guitar
Oh,
I can hear them singing Keep on dreaming
even if it
breaks your heart
Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
