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 oh
I can hear 'em playin'
I can hear the ringin'
of a beat up old guitar
Oh oh
I can hear 'em singin'
Keep on dreamin'
even if it breaks your heart
Downtown is 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
playin' every Friday night
Oh oh
I can hear 'em playin'
I can hear the ringin'
of a beat up old guitar
Oh oh
I can hear 'em singin'
Keep on dreamin'
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 gettin' better
Gotta keep believin'
if you wanna know for sure
Oh oh
I can hear 'em playin'
I can hear the ringin'
of a beat up old guitar
Oh oh
I can hear 'em singin'
Keep on dreamin'
even if it breaks your heart
Oh oh
I can hear 'em playin'
I can hear the ringin'
of a beat up old guitar
Oh oh
I can hear 'em singin'
Keep on dreamin'
even if it breaks your heart
Keep on dreamin'
even if it breaks your heart
Keep on dreamin'
Don't let it break your heart
