way back on the radio dial if i got a lens i'd cry that child
every note just wrapped around his soul from steel guitars to memphis all the way to rock and roll
oh i can hear him singing i can hear the ringing of a beat-up old guitar
oh i can hear him singing keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
downtown 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
i can hear him singing i can hear the ringing of a beat-up old guitar

oh i can hear him singing keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
so
some dreams
stay with you forever drag you around and lead 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 him singing i can hear the ringing of a beat-up old guitar
oh i can hear him singing
keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
oh i can hear him singing i can hear the ringing of a beat-up old guitar
oh i can hear him singing keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
so
keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
you
