Chaising the Dream

Daddy fell in love when he held her in his arms
His first love was his first guitar
She was standing all alone in a second hand store
She needed him but he knew he needed her more

He was chasing the dream the only one hes ever known
Its taken him a long way from his home
Daddys ole guitar his only friend it seemed
But together theyd live the life chasing the dream

Smoky ole bars one night stands
For tips in a jar in a hillbilly band
Sleeping in his truck barely getting by
Paying those honky-tonk dues was a way of life

Repeat Chorus

Sold everything he had for a hundred dollar bill
Caught him a ride all the way to Nashville
Been singing his songs down on music row
And it was there that he learned it sure helps just who you know

And there it broke daddys heart in a second hand store
When he sold his dreams to feed a family of four
The owner told me he buys broken dreams
From dream chasing guitar pickers.just like me

Now, Im chasing the dream the only one Ive ever known
And its taken me a long way from my home
This ole guitar my only friend it seems
But together well live the life chasing the dream
Yes together well live the life chasing the dream
