Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - The Dream слова песни
His fastball is fading, his sinker is gone,
They sent him doun to the minors `cause he wore out his arm,
but his eyes shine brighter than the young kids` it seems
so he keeps on playing, holding on to the dream.
Lord knows that it ain`t for the money
cause he`s broke almost every day,
and it ain`t for the fame or the glory
Guess he`ll do it cause he still loves to play
Guess he`ll do it cause he still loves to play.
He`s been in the saddle since he was a kid
the rodeo came but he keeps it well hid
and someday he`ll have to set his pony free
But `til he does he`ll be riding the dream.
Lord knows that it ain`t for the money,
`cause he`s broke almost every day,
and it ain`t for the fame or the glory
guess he`ll do it cause he still loves to play;
Guess he`ll do it, cause he still loves to play.
We ain`t getting no younger and that is the truth
but these games we keep playin,` they`re our fountain of youth.
From Boston to Boulder and down to Orleans
from highlights to lowlife and everything in between
well I guess we could grow up and quit wearing our jeans
but we still feel like playing and living the dream.
Lord knows that it ain`t for the money,
`cause he`s broke almost every day,
and it ain`t for the fame or the glory
guess he`ll do it cause he still loves to play;
Guess he`ll do it, cause he still loves to play.
