Mama always told me,
I was a fighter and nothing could keep me down
She said never say never,
Always knew better than to keep both feet on the ground
I'm just one step behind reaching cloud number nine and gravi-ty's got nothing on me
The girls gotta dream and you better believe the lights are gonna shine on me
(Chorus)
Those thoughts of broad ways and lights around my name on the marquee
Keep me flying and I'm trying to be the best this town has ever seen
And I don't know how to get there, but I'll get there, just watch me
Live the Dream
When I was bit younger, somebody told me,
Girl, you're wasting your time
He said, No one ever makes it in the show business and they're gonna eat you alive
I stood forcing a smile for a little while, then left him with a wink
'Cause I know, one day he'll see my face on the cover of a magazine
(Chorus)
Those thoughts of broad ways and lights around my name on the marquee
Keep me flying and I'm trying to be the best this town has ever seen
And I don't know how to get there, but I'll get there, just watch me
Live the Dream oh oh,
I wanna hear the crowd singing my songs back to me
I wanna play music, everyday and give another girl a dream
I wanna show the world, you can be what you wanna be
(Chorus)
Those thoughts of broad ways and lights around my name on the marquee
Keep me flying and I'm trying to be the best this town has ever seen
And I don't know how to get there, but I'll get there, just watch me
(Tag)
Just watch me live the dream,
Watch me live the dream
Watch me live the dream, oh watch me live the dream
