[Verse 1]
Way back on the radio dial
The fire got lit inside a bright-eyed child
Every note just wrapped around his soul
From steel guitars to Memphis, all the way to rock and roll

[Chorus]
Oh, I can hear `em playin`
I can hear the ringin` of a beat up ol` 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 ol` guitar
Oh, I can hear `em singin`
"Keep on dreamin`, even if it breaks your heart"

[Verse 3]
Some dreams stay with you forever
Drag you around but bring you back to where you were
Some dreams keep on gettin` better
You 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 ol` 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 ol` 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"

[Outro]
Keep on dreamin`
Don`t let it break your heart
