when I was just a little boy
the radio was my favorite toy
and I would listen all night long
and quietly I's sing along
with the rhythm of the falling rain
and the thunder of the midnight trains
and the melodies were all unchained
and when I got my first guitar
the music did not seem so far away
so I set my sights on a promised land
that I didn't really understand
now that Ive become a man
I finally come to understand
that things aren't always what they seem
and there's more to this than chasing dreams
