[Verse 1] It was easier to dream how life could be, Back when seventeen felt like eternity. Waitin’ on the day I’d fall in love, Sweep her off her feet in a blue pick-up. [Pre-Chorus 1] Actin’ all free with no care in my heart, Thought life was perfect right from the start… [Chorus] Dreams look different when you’ve walked this road, Still I pray they find the one they hold. By that window with their eyes so wide, They’ve got the fire I’m still keepin’ inside. [Verse 2] Nine-to-five keeps grindin’ my joy, Still go home wishin’ I was that boy. When the days were long and the moon burned bright, Mama’s arms could hold me through the night. [Pre-Chorus 2] Now I understand the reason why, Watchin’ my kids in the soft moonlight. Those child days never rode away, They just taught me to see life a different way. [Chorus] Dreams look different when you’ve walked this road, Still I pray they find the one they hold. By that window with their eyes so wide, They’ve got the fire I’m still keepin’ inside. [Outro] Yeah, the story we thought we’d know… Turns out it’s the one that helps us grow.
