VERSE 1:
My daddy brought home a photograph
from the paper yesterday
It showed a line o’ wagons
movin someplace far away
That picture made my daddy smile
an’ it made my mama cry
It seems like Daddy's wagonload of dreams
had long since passed her by
CHORUS:
But/And the dream that makes the sparrow fly
can make an eagle fall
An’ one that makes a rich man money
it ain't no dream at all, it’s a cryin
Shame to wake up just to find
it's all been broke in two
Careful what you're dreamin cuz
it someday may come true
VERSE 2:
Well he talked on all through supper time
bout the good prospector's life
Couldn't see Momma didn't wanna be
no good prospector's wife
He said, "We best sell out and go before
the weather turns too cold
An’ maybe buy ourselves an extry horse
to carry all thet gold"
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[INTERLUDE]
VERSE 3:
I got up as soon as the first light came
to start the mornin fire
Wonderin if my Momma's will
had cooled that man's desire
And inside that stove upon the coals
an ashen paper lay
It was a ghostly line of wagons
movin someplace far away
[REPEAT CHORUS
with “And”]
OUTRO:
Oh, be careful what you're dreamin cuz
it someday may come true
