The Dream

John Wiggins The Dream Lyrics
1.Somewhere In Love

(kerry kurt phillips/chuck leonard)

I've looked high and i've looked low
Talked to every old friend that she used to know
I couldn't figure out why she couldn't be found
There's only one lime green mustang in this cotton-pickin' town
I've been a fool, there's no doubt
But i think this fool's finally figured it out

She's somewhere in love with some lucky guy
She ain't missing me, i'm out of her life
I never dreamed losing that girl would ever hurt so much
She's somewhere in love, you can bet on that
She's got it good, now i've got it bad
I'm here all alone
She's somewhere in love

Close my eyes, but i can't sleep
Two silhouettes are all i see
It's funny how hindsight makes your eyes red
What's breaking my heart are the thoughts in my head
If i could talk to her now i'd get down on my knees
I know where she is but she can't be reached

She's somewhere in love with some lucky guy
She ain't missing me, i'm out of her life
I never dreamed losing that girl would ever hurt so much
She's somewhere in love, you can bet on that
She's got it good, now i've got it bad
I'm here all alone
She's somewhere in love

She's somewhere in love, you can bet on that
She's got it good, now i've got it bad
I'm here all alone
And she's somewhere in love


2.Once You've Loved Somebody

(thom mchugh/bruce miller)

I should go out tonight
And get on with my life
Break these chains of solitude
A little luck and a little help
I might even find myself
In the arms of someone new

But, once you've loved somebody
It ain't that easy to do
Once you've somebody
Like i've loved you

Look what you've gone and done
You've ruined it for anyone
Who tries to steal this heart away
I can't get you off my mind
I've told myself a million times
A little time is all it takes

But, once you've loved somebody
It ain't that easy to do
Once you've somebody
Like i've loved you

I gave you everything that i had to give
I don't know if i can go that far again

But, once you've loved somebody
It ain't that easy to do
Once you've somebody
Like i've loved you

Oh, once you've loved somebody
Oh, like i've loved you


3.I Can Sleep When I'm Dead

(leslie winn satcher/max t barnes)

Well it's 9pm, four hours of overtime
I'm not working my way up the corporate ladder
Just a hard hat on the line, i'm just a hard hat on the line
Well i'm dog tired and draggin
But i'm gettin my second wind
These boots were made for dancin
And kickin back with friends

Loadin dock, punch the clock
Crank the truck, kickin dust
Gonna paint th whole town red
I ought to put these tired old bones to bed
But i'm livin it up
I can sleep when i'm dead

Time's way too short
They ain't makin anymore
I'm havin fun
My workin day is done
I ought to put these tired bones to bed
But i'm livin it up
I can sleep when i'm dead

I know a place that's open all night
They got a sawdust floor and flashing neon light
They got a flashing neon light
They got a flashing neon light
They know me cause i'm sure there alot
And nobody takes my favorite parking spot

Loadin dock, punch the clock
Crank the the truck, kickin dust
Gonna paint the whole town red
I ought to put these tired old bones to bed
But i'm livin it up
I can sleep when i'm dead

Time's way too short
They ain't makin anymore
I'm havin fun
My working day is done

Time's way too short
They ain't makin anymore
I'm havin fun
My workin day is done
I ought to put these tired bones to bed
But i'm livin it up
I can sleep when i'm dead

I ought to put these tired old bones to bed
But i'm livin it up
I can sleep when i'm dead
I ought to put these tired old bones to bed
But i'm livin it up
I can sleep when i'm dead
I'm livin it up
I can sleep when i'm dead
I;m livin it up
I can sleep when i'm dead
Livin it up
Livin it up
Livin it up
I can sleep when i'm dead


4.Little Bitty Pieces

(john wiggins)

I fell for you like a teenage kid
Charmed by everything you did
It took awhile to see through your disguise
But your hard heart opened my eyes
If i'd known then what i know today
Instead of falling for you i'd have run away
You play love with no concern
You set em up and you watch em burn
You think your heart is bulletproof
But someone's gonna prove you wrong

A hard heart breaks in little bitty pieces
You'll see somebody's gonna teach ya
You'll know how it feels at last
When your stone heart shatters like broken glass
My, my ain't you tough
With your hugh immunity to falling in love
I wanna be there when your luck ceases
And your heart breaks in little bitty pieces

I was a link on your chain of fools
You drug me around, i was nothing to you
One of these days you're gonna have to pay
'cause you can't be a winner everytime you play
Oh you're gonna meet your match
Oh she's gonna teach you that

A hard heart breaks in little bitty pieces
You'll see somebody's gonna teach ya
You'll know how it feels at last
When your stone heart shatters like broken glass
My, my ain't you tough
With your hugh immunity to falling in love
I wanna be there when your luck ceases
And your heart breaks in little bitty pieces

Oh you're gonna meet your match
Oh she's gonna teach you that

A hard heart breaks in little bitty pieces
You'll see somebody's gonna teach ya
You'll know how it feels at last
When your stone heart shatters like broken glass
My, my ain't you tough
With your hugh immunity to falling in love
I wanna be there when your luck ceases
And your heart breaks in little bitty pieces


5.Crazy Love

(rusty young)

Ooh ooh crazy love, ay-hi-i-i

Tonight i'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I'll never be imprisoned by a faded memory

Just when i think i'm over her
This broken heart will mend
I hear her name and i have to cry
The tears come down again

It happens all the time, this crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart, refusing to unwind
Ooh ooh crazy love, ay-hi-i-i

Count the stars in a summer sky
That fall without a sound
Oh, and then pretend that you can't hear
These teardrops comin' down

It happens all the time, this crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart, refusing to unwind
Ooh ooh crazy love, ay-hi-i-i

It happens all the time, this crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart, refusing to unwi-i-ind
Ooh ooh crazy love, ay-hi-i-i
Oo-ooh-ooh
Ooh ooh crazy love, ay-hi-i-i

Tonight i'm gonna break away


6.Were You Ever Really Mine

(gary harrison/tim mensy)

Ever since you left me
I'e been finding clues
That you were never really here at all
With the benefit of hindsight
Pointin out the truth
I see i was a fool to ever fall
I knew she was your first love
I hoped i'd be your last
I think i know the answer
But i've still got to ask

Were you ever really mine
Or was it you and her and me
When you looked into my eyes
Tell me now who did you see
Was there one magic hour
Her memory held no power
Or was every single moment just a lie
Were you ever really mine

Times that you were distant
Lost within yourself
I see now you were with her in your mind
I was careful not to crowd you
And give you room to breathe
But there ain't enough space to live two lives
Well i'll let you close this chapter
But don't think i'm owed
An answer to a question
That only your heart knows

Were you ever really mine
Or was it you and her and me
When you looked into my eyes
Tell me now who did you see
Was there one magic hour
Her memory held no power
Or was every single moment just a lie
Were you ever really mine

Was there ever one magic hour
Her memory held no power
Or was every single moment a lie
Were you ever really mine


7.Be Still My Heart

(gordon kennedy/randy thomas)

Here she comes walkin
I'll be casual and say hello
Now we're small talkin
But i don't wanna let my feelings show
How i love that girl and no one else
But i keep saying to myself

Be still my heart
Don't let it show
Just make believe that
You don't love her so
Be quiet now
And let her go
She'll never hurt you
If she never knows
Love can tear you apart
Be still my heart

It's a high wire
That i'm walkin each and every day
Balance my desire
With the fear that i could fall from grace
I don't wanna give myself away
So help me keep my secret safe

Be still my heart
Don't let it show
Just make believe that
You don't love her so
Be quiet now
And let her go
She'll never hurt you
If she never knows
Love can tear you apart
Be still my heart

Wonder if she has a secret she won't tell
Right this moment is she thinkin to herself

Be still my heart
Don't let it show
Just make believe that
You don't love him so
Be quiet now
And let him go
He'll never hurt you
If he never knows
Love can tear you apart
Be still my heart
Be still my heart
Be still my heart


8.Party Down

(michael garvin/anthony smith/p.r. battle)

In the same breath you told me it was over
You said in time i'd feel like somebody new
And as you walk away i'm sure you wonder
What will i do my first night without you

Party down
Celebrate
Paint the town
Stay out late
No more livin in a never ending heartache
Free at last
Life is great
Hello world
I can't wait
Oh what will i do without you around
Party down, party down

Forgive me if i don't come up with teardrops
I've already done my cryin over you
Let me help you take your bags out to the pickup
'cause one you're gone
I've got some things to do

Party down
Celebrate
Paint the town
Stay out late
No more livin in a never ending heartache
Free at last
Life is great
Hello world
I can't wait
Oh what will i do without you around
Party down, party down

I made a vow to always stay with you
But you didn't feel the same
The way you treated me was a shame
Now i'm gonna break these chains
And i know just how i'm gonna do it

Party down
Celebrate
Paint the town
Stay out late
No more livin in a never ending heartache
Free at last
Life is great
Hello world
I can't wait
Oh what will i do without you around
Party down, party down


9.Going With My Heart

(john wiggins)

He has a way that mesmerized me
I've fallen for him helplessly
I'm like a child with no defenses
My best judgement seems so senseless
My head says if you love him take it slow
My heart says let him know

I'm going with my heart
I'm gonna tell him how i feel
And if he walks away, i'll know that it ain't real
Surrendering my pride is where i'll have to start
My head thinks i've gone crazy
But i'm going with my heart

My mouth is dry, my hands are shakin
He anticipates what i ain't sayin
Everytime i try to say i love him
The right words seem to take off running
I've let the chance slip by a hundred times
But i've made up my mind
I'm going with my heart
I'm gonna tell him how i feel
And if he walks away, i'll know that it ain't real
Surrendering my pride is where i'll have to start
My head thinks i've gone crazy
But i'm going with my heart

Going with my heart


10.A Train Left For Memphis

(george teren/don pfrimmer/tim buffert)

I'm too far west of the mississippi
And so far north there's a foot of snow
How i wish you could be here with mme
I didn't want to, i had to go
I got the feeling when we hung up
That you miss me less and less
Long distance loving ain't enough
So i guess the question is

If a train left for memphis at four in the morning
Would ninety miles an hour be fast enough
With two thousand miles and six states to cover
Would you still be waiting up
If a train left for memphis, would it be too late for us

I've dropped you cards and sent you flowers
And all the letters there's time to write
I hope my name in the darkest hour
Is still the last thing on your lips tonight
I've gotta make up all the ground that too much distance brings
I'm packing my bags and i'm leaving town
God i wish these rails had wings

If a train left for memphis at four in the morning
Would ninety miles an hour be fast enough
With two thousand miles and six states to cover
Would you still be waiting up
If a train left for memphis, would it be too late for us


11.The Dream

(harley allen/clive westlake)

The plan i never had a lot but i had plans
They took me down the road to where i am
I know now i'd do it all again

The dream was always just a step ahead of me
Too far to touch but close enough to see
There was always somewhere else i had to be
The dream, there's nothing more important than the dream
Without one nothing matters much it seems
It always keeps me goin where the winds of doubts are blowin
What always keeps me goin is the dream

The song it takes too many years to write the song
Where every word is just where it belongs
You wonder why on earth it takes so long
You shine if only for the very shortest time
The latest thing in melody and rhyme
And in the end you'd give up your last dime for

The dream was always just a step ahead of me
Too far to touch but close enough to see
There was always somewhere else i had to be
The dream, there's nothing more important than the dream
Without one nothing matters much it seems
It always keeps me goin where the winds of doubts are blowin
What always keeps me goin is the dream

Oh, it always keeps me goin
When the winds of doubt are blowin
What always keeps me goin is the dream
