[Intro] (Soft acoustic guitar, gentle pedal steel, intimate youthful vocal) Ooh-ooh Guess some hearts get lucky Some just learn to let go [Verse 1] There’s a white church standing on the edge of town Where the Sunday bells ring when the sun goes down Saw my old best friend in a secondhand dress With a diamond on her finger and a baby on her chest Mama cried happy tears, Daddy raised a glass Everybody’s making promises that last And I’m smiling in the pictures, saying everything’s fine With a thousand little wishes I keep tucked inside [Pre-Chorus] I used to write forever on a paper napkin Pray to God that something good would happen Now I’m watching all the things I wanted most Turn into somebody else’s toast [Chorus] Some dreams come true, but never mine Some get the roses, some just get the goodbye Some find forever underneath the porch light Some spend their whole lives waiting for the right time I gave my heart like a dollar to a wishing well Made my little prayers, but I couldn’t make ‘em sell Maybe there’s a reason, maybe there’s a sign Some dreams come true, but never mine [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, never mine Oh-oh, not this time [Verse 2] There’s a boy I used to know on the county line Now he’s got a pretty wife and a house with a vine He used to say my name like a favorite song Guess the music stopped playing when I held on too long And I still take the back roads when I need to think Past the fields where we kissed and the old gas station sink Funny how a little town can hold a thousand ghosts And the ones you miss the most are the ones you never know [Pre-Chorus] I used to think that faith could move a mountain That love was just a door and I could count on But the older that I get, the more I find Some prayers take their sweet old time [Chorus] Some dreams come true, but never mine Some get the roses, some just get the goodbye Some find forever underneath the porch light Some spend their whole lives waiting for the right time I gave my heart like a dollar to a wishing well Made my little prayers, but I couldn’t make ‘em sell Maybe there’s a reason, maybe there’s a sign Some dreams come true, but never mine [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, never mine Oh-oh, not this time [Bridge] Maybe someday I’ll quit keeping score Stop looking for his truck outside my door Maybe I’ll wake up and the hurt won’t stay Maybe I’ll thank the Lord I got turned away But tonight I’ll let the tears fall with the rain Let the radio sing what I can’t explain If there’s a little mercy in these Tennessee skies Let me have one dream before I close my eyes [Breakdown] (Piano and acoustic guitar only, vulnerable vocal) Some girls get the wedding bells Some get good at wishing well Some get everything they prayed to find And some dreams come true… [Build] (Drums and harmonies gradually return) Maybe not today Maybe not this life Maybe there’s a little hope Somewhere down the line [Final Chorus] Some dreams come true, but never mine Some get the roses, some just get the goodbye Some find forever underneath the porch light Some spend their whole lives waiting for the right time I gave my heart like a dollar to a wishing well Still got a thousand stories that I’ll never tell Maybe there’s a reason, maybe I’ll be fine Maybe there’s a dream that’s still waiting in line Some dreams come true, but never mine Oh, I hope I’m wrong this time [Outro] (Stripped-back acoustic guitar, soft vocal with fading harmonies) Somewhere down the line Maybe one will be mine Oh-oh… Maybe one will be mine.
