Champagne Dreams

Modern Country pop, emotional, Deep voiced male lead vocal

Verse 1
 We met beside the football field
 Back when forever was free
 You drew our names inside a heart
 On the bark of an old oak tree

Said we'd make it out somehow
 Just me and you against the world
 Back then a Friday night and cheap fast food
 Was enough for one small-town girl

Verse 2
 You used to steal my old hoodie
 When the autumn air rolled in
 Said a front porch and a couple rocking chairs
 Was all we'd ever need to win

We dreamed out loud beneath the stars
 Watching headlights on the county road
 Back when our future felt so close
 And happiness didn't cost a thing to hold

Chorus
 But you traded us for champagne dreams
 City lights and magazine scenes
 Crystal glasses raised up high
 On a yacht beneath a foreign sky

You used to say love was enough
 When our pockets were empty and times were tough
 Somewhere between those days and these
 You traded us for champagne dreams

Verse 3
 Life came knocking hard and fast
 With rent, due dates and overtime
 I was counting every dollar earned
 You were counting everything that wasn't mine

You started talking 'bout ocean views
 Five-star nights and designer names
 The girl who laughed at all that stuff
 Didn't seem the same

Pre-Chorus
 And every picture on your phone
 Was another place we couldn't go
 I guess the distance started there
 Long before I ever knew

Chorus
 You traded us for champagne dreams
 City lights and magazine scenes
 Crystal glasses raised up high
 On a yacht beneath a foreign sky

You used to say love was enough
 When our pockets were empty and times were tough
 Somewhere between those days and these
 You traded us for champagne dreams

Bridge
 It wasn't really him, was it?
 He just had the life you wanted most
 The marina lights, the penthouse view
 The luxury I couldn't afford to hold

And maybe you're somewhere tonight
 Sipping vintage wine by the sea
 But I still miss the girl who thought
 A paper cup of coffee tasted rich with me

Final Chorus
 You traded us for champagne dreams
 Silver spoons and endless scenes
 Candlelight on expensive decks
 While I was cashing overtime checks

You used to swear we'd grow old together
 Said no storm could change forever
 But reality changed what you believed
 And love couldn't feed your hunger for those dreams

Now that old oak tree still stands
 Our names carved deep in faded lines
 A reminder of two kids in love
 Before money changed your mind

Outro
 We met beside the football field
 Back when forever was free
 Now the only thing you left behind
 Is your name in that old oak tree

You were my childhood sweetheart
 My first hello, my last goodbye
 And I finally understand the truth...

You never left for another man
 You left for champagne dreams.
