“Young Mans Dreams” - Jim Dort
He says “Now son don’t ya count on your music,
You've gotta get yourself a job”
You’ve been sittin around on your bad ass since you quit school,
And hammerin away... on that Damb Guitar”
He says “Now boy I know it’s just a stage, you’re goin through,
but the time has come and gone"
“ya gotta get out there in the real world boy,
and like everyone else...
ya gotta work to earn your income”
He says “Now pa, I’ve got her made in the shade,
Me and the boys, lined up some gigs”
…”well, I suppose yer playin down at the Legion again,
for the Door...pay some board if ya think you’re so big”
Chorus:
A Young Mans Dreams, washed away
by the tides of reality,
A young mans dreams there’ll come a day,
He’ll sing his story to his family.
A Young Mans Dreams, will come alive
tonight... In his world of fantasy
But this young mans dreams, may not
Survive the fight of reality
Now two years come and gone, I’m on my own,
And Im finding things real hard,
I’ve got a daytime job, get a working mans wage,
And I just can’t seem to find the time to play… that Damb Guitar
A word to the wise, don’t close your eyes,
It may not be as it all seems,
You may be under the knife, to take the chance of your life
And it may come as a suprise, when you finally realize…
A young mans dreams…
Chorus:
A Young Mans Dreams, washed away
In the tides of reality,
A young mans dreams there’ll come a day,
He’ll sing his story to his family.
A Young Mans Dreams, will come alive
tonight... In his world of fantasy
But this young mans dreams, may not
Survive the fight of reality
