[Verse 1]
Way back on the radio dial
Fire got lit inside a bright-eyed child
Every note just wrapped around a soul
From steel guitar to Memphis, all the way to rock 'n’ roll
[Chorus]
Oh, I can hear 'em playin'
I can hear the ringin’ of a beat-up old guitar
Oh, I can hear 'em singin'
Keep on dreamin' even if it breaks your heart
[Verse 2]
Downtown is where I used to wander
Old enough to get there, but too young to get inside
So I would stand out on the sidewalk
Listen to the music playin' every Friday night
[Chorus]
Oh, I can hear 'em playin'
I can hear the ringin' of a beat-up old guitar
Oh, I can hear ’em singin’
Keep on dreamin' even if it breaks your heart, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Keep on dreamin’, yeah
[Bridge]
Some dreams stay with you forever
Drag you around, lead you back to where you were
Some dreams, they keep on gettin' better
Gotta keep believin' if you wanna know for sure
[Chorus]
Oh, I can hear 'em playin’
I can hear the ringin' of a beat-up old guitar
Oh, I can hear 'em singin'
Keep on dreamin' even if it breaks your heart
Oh, I can hear 'em playin'
I can hear the ringin' of a beat-up old guitar
Oh, I can hear 'em singin'
Keep on dreamin' even if it breaks your heart
Keep on dreamin' even if it breaks your heart
[Post-Chorus]
Keep on dreamin'
[Outro]
No, don't let it break your heart
Don't let it break your, break your, no
Don't let it break your heart
Don't let it break your heart
No, no, no, no, no
