| Way back on the radio dial | 
| A fire got lit inside a bright eyed child | 
| Every note just wrapped around his soul | 
| From steel guitar to Memphis all the way to rock and roll | 
| Oh oh, I can hear them playing | 
| I can hear the ringing of a beat up ol' guitar | 
| Oh oh, I can hear them saying | 
| Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart | 
| Downtown where I used to wander | 
| Old enough to get there but too young to get inside | 
| I would stand out on the sidewalk | 
| Listen to the music playing every Friday night | 
| Oh oh, I can hear them playing | 
| I can hear the ringing of a beat up ol' guitar | 
| Oh oh, I can hear them saying | 
| Keep on dreaming even it breaks your heart | 
| Some dreams stay with you forever | 
| Drag you around and lead you back to where you were | 
| Some dreams keep on getting better | 
| Gotta keep believing if you wanna know for sure | 
| Oh oh, I can hear them playing | 
| I can hear the ringing of a beat up ol' guitar | 
| Oh oh, I can hear them saying | 
| Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart | 
| Oh oh, I can hear them playing | 
| I can hear the ringing of a beat up ol' guitar | 
| Oh oh, I can hear them saying | 
| Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart | 
| Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart |
