Lyrics
A little boy 10 years old
Falls asleep to his radio,
Dreaming someday he’d be a star —
Admired, adored, a troubadour
For the whole world to see.
But his little eyes could not foresee
Chasing dreams isn’t everything it seems.
The only thing certain is uncertainty.
There’s highs and lows,
Seldom yeses and so many nos.
But still he goes
Chasing dreams
Every day, nine to five,
He’d pick up little jobs
just to try to survive.
Nights, he’d play the bars.
The years rolled on;
He struggled along,
Writing down his feelings in his lyrics and songs.
What in the world was taking so damn long?
(Chorus)
His life has been an uphill climb.
Still he believes it’s just a matter of time;
He’s got a wife who tells him so.
Though he’s no little boy, how he still enjoys
Falling asleep to his radio.
But through the years he’s come to know …
(Chorus)
