Boxes |
| I found boxes of first CDs tryin' to get my office clean |
| Took ten years of folks givin' them to me 'til I sat down |
| And I saw hesitant poses and torn up jeans |
| In cover photos friends took for free |
| For the six minute songs, and all their lifelong dreams the world turned down |
| They’re just dreamin' up some life out on the road, oh |
| When all I dream about’s the day that I’ll be home |
| I’d long forgotten how it feels to chase a dream |
| Thank God for boxes of first CDs (yeah) |
| On through this Rolodex of railroad tracks and fresh-cut hair |
| I see Joy who won some Grammys and is now a millionaire |
| Looks different now than she does right there, but that’s how it goes |
| As for the rest, I bet they’re teachers or pastors now |
| Pictured in jackets girlfriends picked out |
| All their hometowns turned these up, all the labels turned them down, |
| and never wrote (whoa) |
| They’re just dreamin' up some life out on the road, oh |
| When all I dream about’s the day that I’ll be home |
| I guess I forgot the way it feels to chase a dream |
| Thank God for boxes of first CDs (yeah) |
| A thrift store jacket and ten less pounds |
| Lookin' like a fool in some big field with my bare feet on the ground |
| Bad song titles and worse drum sounds, I didn’t know |
| That all my dreams had come true out here on the road |
| I never dreamed that I could call this life my own |
| Thought I’d forgotten how it feels to chase a dream |
| But thank God for how it feels to chase a dream |
| And thank God for boxes of first CDs (yeah) |
