dusty boots & dreams r

--- [Verse 1] I went to hitchhike down South Right after mama kicked me out the house All I had was what was on my back And my harmonica in my pack [Verse 2] I wanted to live out my dreams See the countryside and the big cities I was way out of my league [Verse 3] I hopped in the first truck We drove a hundred miles He told me about his wife and son And asked me why I was on the run I said I had dreams to catch And life had kept me down I wanted to fly Not be tied to the ground [Verse 4] He let me off near Nashville Where the music was calling me Gave me a couple bucks, a wink and a "good luck" And I was off to find a place to sleep [Verse 5] I wandered down Broadway With holes in my boots Watched the lights and the hopefuls All singin’ their blues I slept in a park bench’s shadow that night Dreamin’ of stages bathed in neon light [Verse 6] Busking for some cash My harmonica and I danced While tourists looked & clapped with glee Here I go again, making short term friends Down in good ole Tennessee [Bridge] Some nights I’d cry on a stranger’s floor Wonderin’ what I was really searchin’ for But the wind kept hummin’ my name And I knew I couldn’t stay the same Every wrong turn felt like part of the song Even when I didn’t know where I belonged [Outro] Now the stars are my ceiling And the road is my friend Don’t know where I’m headin’ But I ain’t near the end With my thumb in the air And my song on my breath I’m chasin’ that dream Till I ain’t got nothin’ left ---
