She doesn't mind working overtime and raising a son
Love took a turn the day she turned twenty-one
It broke her, yes it broke her
Change from the moment that her father was gone
The pain tried to kill her but she kept hanging on
She's stronger, yeah
So many people that I'll never forget
So many people that I wish never left, oh
Rest in peace, Mr. P, I know you watch over me
Hope that you're proud of who I turn out to be
I keep my head up like my brother would say
Sky is the limit, he's been paving the way
He never left his footprints up on the moon
But I know there's nothing that he couldn't do
All the blood, the sweat, tears through the years
Your toes on fire, fire
Every day you try to stay
But you can't, but can't get higher
Here's to the ones who had to give up a dream
You have potential and it's killing me
I knew a kid who was a pro on the field
He never made it but he made us believe
Some people pick up and they get on the road
I know a lot of them, they never found hope
I never wanted to get out of this town
But daddy had it planned so he got us out of
She doesn't cry anymore about the choices she made
She's in the backyard with the family she wrote about
She's home now, yeah, she's home now
So many people that I'll never forget
So many memories that will live in my head forever
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I will keep on dreaming
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I will keep on dreaming
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
you
