Verse 1

Way back on the radio dial

 A fire got lit inside a bright eyed child

Every note just wrapped around your soul

 From steel guitar to Memphis all the way to rock and roll

Chorus

Whoa oah I can hear 'em saying

I can hear the ringing of a beat up old guitar

Woah oah I can hear 'em saying

Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart

Verse 2

Downtown where I used to wander

Old enough to get there but too young to get inside

I would stand out on the sidewalk

Listen to the music playing every Friday night

Chorus

Whoa oah I can hear 'em playing

I can hear the ringing of a beat up old guitar

Woah oah I can hear 'em saying

Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart

Verse 3

Some dreams stay with you forever

Drag you around and lead you back to where you were

Some dreams keep on getting better

Got to keep believing if you want to know for sure

Chorus

x2):

Whoa oah I can hear 'em saying

I can hear the ringing of a beat up old guitar

Woah oah I can hear 'em saying

Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
