Lyrics

I Remember

I remember
Back in '75
Listening to songs on the radio
Wishing they were mine

That was twenty years
Some dreams survive
So now there's one more show to go
And another midnight drive

Sometimes it's tough
Some days are hard
When I spend more time on the telephone
Than playing my guitar

But I wouldn't give it up
Not for money or for love
I've got this dream burning in me
To find out what I'm made of

So I remember
Back in '75
Listening to songs on the radio
Wishing they were mine

That was twenty years
Some dreams survive
So now there's one more show to go
And another midnight drive

And I remember those first summer days
Working it out, stepping on stage
Never any doubt what we were gonna do

And I remember rejection notes
My first bad press and the radio host who
Said he'd play my songs if I would pay him to

But I wouldn't give it up
Not for money or for love
I had this dream burning in me
To find out what I'm made of

And so I remembered
Back in '75
Listening to songs on the radio
Wishing they were mine

That was twenty years
Some dreams survive
So now there's one more show to go
And another midnight drive

And I remember...
