Way back on the radio dial
A fire got lit inside a bright eyed child
Every note just wrapped around his soul
From steel guitar to Memphis all the way to rock and roll

Oh oh, I can hear them playing
I can hear the ringing of a beat up ol' guitar
Oh oh, I can hear them saying
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
I would stand out on the sidewalk
Listen to the music playing every Friday night

Oh oh, I can hear them playing
I can hear the ringing of a beat up ol' guitar
Oh oh, I can hear them saying
Keep on dreaming even it breaks your heart

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 oh, I can hear them playing
I can hear the ringing of a beat up ol' guitar
Oh oh, I can hear them saying
Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart

Oh oh, I can hear them playing
I can hear the ringing of a beat up ol' guitar
Oh oh, I can hear them saying
Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart
