(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
