Verse 1

A long time ago when I was young

I saw a dream in a song I heard sung

I wanted that dream but I’ve spent a lifetime waitin’

Verse 2

I followed a road till I reached the end

Then I turned right around & started over again

I saw a dream but I’ve spent a lifetime waitin’

Verse 3

I had me a fever ‘bout 104

The sky was on fire I woke up on the floor

But I saw the dream & I’ve spent a lifetime waitin’

Verse 4

Now I’ve been around & I’ve tasted good wine

Sometimes I done wrong, sometimes I’ve done fine

I still want that dream & I’ve spent a lifetime waitin’

Verse 5

Now I’ll never be sure where y’all want to go

Cause you have to choose & only you will know

Hang to your dream; even spend a life-time waitin’
