Let Go of the Dream

The streets I thought would once be mine

Now follow me home

At the bus stop, join the line

You've got to let go of the dream

You wanted it all so young, so pay the price

The tragedy is, you don't know what you're sacrificing

And you've gotta let go of the dream

Understand what I mean?

It's a terrible scene

And when you're walking home

Will you remember what it was

When you're walking home

Will you remember who I was

When you get back home

Will you remember that it was

Only rock and roll

Success was just a finger's breadth away

And now you wonder what you're going to do today

But you've got to let go of the dream

Rehabilitation seems to be

For once such as I, an impossibility

So I'd better let go of the dream

Understand what I mean?

It's a terrible scene

And when you're walking home

Will you remember what it was

When you're walking home

Will you remember who I was

When you get back home

Will you remember that it was

Only rock and roll
