lyrics

VERSE 1:
I think dreams are bought and sold in pawnshops
It’s where they start, and it’s where they stop
All my friends’ old dreams, they're are all for sale
Guess it’s a matter of time before mine get there

CHORUS:
I've got a tendency to childish prayers
Of rock stars and ballplayers
Work all day to make it mine
Working for that Saturday night
Sometimes I think that Tennessee
Will someday be the death of me
Not the Western taste or Southern charm
I just still find relief in Mother’s arms

VERSE 2:
Those of us left are stuck somewhere between
The front of the stage and a failure’s dream
With our fingertips just like our hearts
Calloused, bruised and torn apart

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
So when it’s all said and done
Did we ride or did we run?
The hardest part when all your heroes play in bands
Is finding out that all your heroes live in vans

VERSE 3:
Yesterday I thought I'd sell my guitars
So I can buy all my friends drinks at the bar
And say I’m sorry for what I’ve put you through
But they interrupt me before I do, and say

Sing us a song before you go
Something sad, sweet and slow
‘Cause we still believe that rock and roll
Can take us home and save our souls
And all that glitters is not gold
Don’t let this heart on fire grow cold
‘Cause we still believe that rock and roll
Can take us home and save our souls

CHORUS
