Nothin' Like A Dream
It was Southern Louisiana spring of 99
Two friends reaching for the brass ring planning out their lives
You said you'd have white picket fences lead the Cinderella life
I've heard that he's rock solid and you've made the perfect wife
I kept a picture of the Ryman on an old postcard
Girl you've always shared my dream, it didn't seem that hard .. but
Now it's one more song and penny tossed into the wishing well
I pay my dues, keep on singing and believing in myself ... but
(Chorus)
It ain't nothin' like you talked about with me
Nothin' like you and I thought that it would be
Seems like every step you take there's a piper to be paid
And when the footlights from the stage blind your view
You can't always see their face but you give your heart and soul on faith
And when they give it back to you
There's nothin' like a dream coming true
(Bridge)
Sometimes I can't help but envy you it seems
And knowing you the way I do I bet that's a two way street
When the truth is neither one of us would ever trade their place
Since Louisiana 99 we've both come a ways .. but
(Chorus)
It ain't nothin' like you talked about with me
Nothin' like you and I thought that it would be
Seems like every step you take there's a piper to be paid
And when the footlights from the stage blind your view
You can't always see their face but you give your heart and soul on faith
And when they give it back to you
There's nothin' like a dream coming true
There's nothin' like a dream coming true
