[Verse 1] I spent my life beneath an open sky, Chasing dusty roads and wondering why. Never had a reason I should settle down, Just another lonely rider passing through each town. Then you walked in like the morning sun, And suddenly my running days were done. One look from you and everything had changed, My restless heart would never beat the same. [Pre-Chorus] I never thought forever Would ever call my name, But when you put your hand in mine, Forever finally came. [Chorus] You were my wildest dream, The one I never thought would come true. Every road, every mile, Somehow led my heart to you. Underneath that western sky, You gave this wandering soul a reason to believe. I spent my whole life chasing sunsets, But you were my wildest dream. [Verse 2] We carved our names beneath an old oak tree, You laughed and said, “Don’t ever forget me.” I pulled you close beneath the desert stars, And promised you my road would end wherever you are. Now when the canyon wind comes rolling through, Every lonely song reminds me of you. If I had a thousand lives to live again, I’d ride every one until I found you in the end. [Chorus] You were my wildest dream, The one I never thought would come true. Every road, every mile, Somehow led my heart to you. Underneath that western sky, You gave this wandering soul a reason to believe. I spent my whole life chasing sunsets, But you were my wildest dream. [Bridge] When my hair turns gray And these old boots wear thin, When I’ve ridden every highway And the night comes rolling in, Just hold me underneath those stars The way you did back then. If there’s another life beyond this one, I’ll find you there again. [Final Chorus] You were my wildest dream, Now you’re every dream I’ll ever need. Every scar, every road, Every broken part of me Led me underneath that western sky To the only love I’ll ever believe. I thought I was born to chase the horizon, Till your love came riding into me. You were my wildest dream, My once-in-a-lifetime everything. And when that final sunset falls, Darlin’, stay right here with me. You were my wildest dream… And you became my everything.
