[Verse 1] Back when my shoes were scuffed And my bike chain sang I wore a thrift-store jacket Like it meant I had a plan Mama said, "Keep moving" I said, "I already am" Just a kid with a map Drawn on the back of my hand [Pre-Chorus] I could see it then Through the screen-door frame Every mile looked gold Every wrong road felt the same [Chorus] I was chasing dreams Down every open street Chasing dreams With my heart on repeat If I fell, I'd rise If I broke, I'd breathe I was chasing dreams And they were chasing me [Verse 2] Now the train pulls in And I know that sound Same old rush in my chest When the wheels hit town I still keep that note Folded in my case It says, "Go be loud" In my brother's hand-drawn race [Pre-Chorus] I can taste that spark Like a summer flame All the little old fears Turn to paper when I say [Chorus] I was chasing dreams Down every open street Chasing dreams With my heart on repeat If I fell, I'd rise If I broke, I'd breathe I was chasing dreams And they were chasing me [Bridge] Some nights I lost the road Some nights I lost my name But I kept that ember Beneath the rain Now I see your face In every doorway beam Still that same wild kid Still chasing dreams [Final Chorus] I was chasing dreams Down every open street Chasing dreams With my heart on repeat If I fell, I'd rise If I broke, I'd breathe I was chasing dreams And they were chasing me Chasing dreams Chasing dreams I was chasing dreams And they were chasing me
