Its four in the afternoon

I'm on a flight leaving LA
C

Trying to think about my life

My youth scattered along the highway

Hotel rooms in headlights

I've made a living with a song

Just a guitar as my companion

Wanting desperately to be loved

Fame is filled with spoiled children

Dreaming is a good thing

Cause it brings new things to life

Seeing for what you've been told

And growing up is not the answer to dreaming

Its being able to understand the difference between

The ones you can hold and the ones that you've been sold

Without all of your pretty lies
