Still chasin' the dream |
Lyrics"Still Chasing the Dream"By Yves Stilmant © 2025 (Modern Country Ballad - Heartfelt, Poetic, Radio-Ready) Verse 1A I clocked in when I was seventeen Built fences, fixed trucks, chased gasoline Thought if I worked hard and played it right The dream would land in black and white Verse 1B Put food on the table, kept shoes on their feet Kissed 'em goodnight with blistered knees Thought love was shown, not always said So I gave my all and left none unsaid Pre-Chorus But time moves quiet, and kids grow fast Now the echoes are louder than the laughs Chorus Still chasin' the dream, though the road got long Still hummin' hope in an old work song I ain't got riches, I ain't got fame But I've got heart, and I've got name And if there's still some peace I've yet to find I'll chase it down 'til the end of my time The flag still flies, and so do I Still chasin' the dream with my head held high Verse 2A I've been broke, I've been proud, I've been wrong I've chased my peace through a thousand songs I built a life with stubborn grace And carried hope I couldn't always face Verse 2B But I still believe in love that stays In quiet nights and honest days In sons and daughters doing more Than we could dream of years before Pre-Chorus And if I'm just a name in the family tree Let it say: "He worked, he loved, he tried to be free" Chorus Still chasin' the dream, through wind and doubt Still rising up when the fire burns out I've held the line, I've braved the storm In faded jeans that I've long since worn And if there's joy at the end of this climb I'll find it, even if I'm outta time This road's been long, but the stars still gleam I'm still chasin' the dream... still chasing the dream Bridge It ain't about the gold or land It's what you build with your own hands And how you love, and what you give And if you teach your kids to live Final Chorus Still chasin' the dream, one breath, one mile Still finding strength in a worn-out smile No white-picket fence, no big parade But a life I carved and love I made And if tomorrow brings no crown or throne At least I'll know I built this on my own The dream ain't gone--it's just unseen But I'm still chasin'... still chasin' the dream |
