Today I looked in the mirror And I caught me by surprise The man I saw lookin' back at me I almost didn't recognize Wasn't I just a kid movin' to Tennessee With an old guitar and eyes full of stars Chasin' a crazy dream But time just seemed to vanish Right before my eyes You may not understand it Why we live with the sacrifice But it's worth every mile To get to sing for a while Truth is I've done it all for free Always rhymes to be makin' When you're a dream chaser like me Last night a new song came to me Faster than I could write it down Sometimes I wonder if there'll be another Then another comes around Time just seems to vanish Right before my eyes You may not understand it Why we live with the sacrifice But it's worth every mile To get to sing for a while Truth is I've done it all for free Always rhymes to be makin' When you're dream chasin' like me Always rhymes to be makin' When you're a dream chaser like me
