Still Have Dreams

Verse 1
I could smell the smoke, see hills on fire, Santa Anna year
My plane to nowhere, grounded, waiting for the sky to clear
Love life in shambles, really messed it up this time
Stepped in a bar at LAX, try to fix my mind

Verse 2
Barmaid said "How you doing, I'm Lilly from Arizona"
You could see she'd been a looker, she set up a cold Corona
Said I'm working here, slinging beer, tide me over
Came out here with a dream, "then they tried to make me over"
       My agent doesn't call much anymore

Chorus 1
But I still have dreams, still have heart, best days are still ahead
I'll never stop believing, or sleep in the devil's bed  
Nothing but hard times, far as I can see   
As long as I believe, I Still Have Dreams

Verse 3
She said, say hello to Randy, this ole boy can sing a song
His face red & puffy, like he'd been in here way too long
He said yeah I been to Nashville, the music's changed so much
"They keep turning down my songs, then tell me stay in touch
            I hope one day to turn this thing around"

Chorus 2
I still have dreams, still have heart, best days are still ahead
I'll never stop believing, no matter what they said
Ain't nothing but hard times, far as I can see   
As long as I believe, I Still Have Dreams

{ Bridge }
Told my story, they called me crazy, my plane began to board
Said goodbye to my new friends, thinking hard, what I'd just heard
Two strangers gave me grief, bout my disappearing act
Said stay off that plane, grab a cab, see if she'll take you back'

Chorus 3
You Still have dreams, and we're sure, your best days are still ahead
It's plain how much you love her, no matter what's been said
Try to work it out, keep her in your life
Man you need each other , You Still Have Dreams
You Still have Dreams --- You Still Have Dreams
