Story Behind The Song

Ya Gotta have dreams!

Lyrics

Still Have Dreams
Ed Bentley edbentley@mail.com

I could smell the smoke, see hills on fire, Santa Anna year
My plane to nowhere, grounded, waiting for the sky to clear
My love life in shambles, really messed it up this time
Stepped in a bar at LAX, try to fix my mind

Barmaid said "How you doing, I'm Lilly from Arizona"
I could see she'd been a looker, as she set up a cold Corona
Said I'm working here, slinging beer, tide me over
Came out here with a dream, "they tried to make me over"
       My agent doesn't call much anymore

Chorus 1
I still have dreams, still have heart, best days are still ahead
I'll never stop believing, or sleep in the devil's bed  
Ain't nothing but hard times, far as I can see   
But as long as I believe, I Still Have Dreams

She said hey, say hello to Randy, this ole boy can sing a song
His face red & puffy, like he'd been in here way too long
Said yeah I been to Nashville, music's changed so much
"They keep turning down my songs, then tell me stay in touch
          Hope one day to turn this thing around"

Chorus 2
Cause I still have dreams, still have heart, best days are still ahead
I'll never stop believing, no matter what they said
Ain't nothing but hard times, far as I can see   
But as long as I believe, I Still Have Dreams

Bridge
Told my story, they called me crazy, my plane began to board
Said goodbye to my new friends, thinking hard, what I'd just heard
Two strangers gave me grief, bout my disappearing act
Said stay off that plane, grab a cab, she'll probley take you back

Chorus 3
You Still have dreams, and we're sure, your best days are still ahead
It's plain how much you love her, no matter what's been said
Try to work it out, keep her in your life
Man you need each other, You Still Have Dreams
You Still Have Dreams
Yeah I guess I still have a dream.....
