Some Dreams

(Steve Earle)

When I was a little guy

My daddy told me "Mister,

Don't ever try to climb too high

'Cause it's the fall that gets ya

And some dreams can never come true

They'll never come true"

Well, I heard every word he said

But I don't guess I listened

But every time I banged my head

Against the wall or system

Yeah, some dreams don't ever come true

Don't ever come true

But some dreams do

If you just hang on

And your heart is true

And your hope is strong

Well, just because you've been around

And had your poor heart broken

That's no excuse for lyin' there

Before the last word's spoken

'Cause some dreams don't ever come true

Don't ever come true

Aw, but some dreams do

When you're feelin' low

And you think you're through

That's when you will know

Yeah, when you wish upon a star

Buddy, don't you miss it

Catch it 'fore it falls too far

Keep it with your secrets

'Cause some dreams don't ever come true

Don't ever come true

Don't ever come true

But some dreams do
