Boxes
I found boxes of first CDs Trying to get my office clean Took ten years of folks giving them to me 'till I sat down And I saw hesitant poses and torn-up jeans In cover photos friends took for free Full of six-minute songs and all their lifelong dreams The world turned down
And they're just dreaming of some life out on the road, oh And all I dream about's a day that I'll be home I'd long forgotten how it feels to chase a dream Thank God for boxes of first CDs (ayy!)
On through this rolodex of railroad tracks and fresh-cut hair I see Joy who won some Grammys and is now a millionaire Looks different now than she does right there, that's how it goes As for the rest, I bet they're teachers or pastors now Pictured in jackets girlfriends picked out All their hometowns turned these up All the labels turned them down Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And never wrote, woah
They're just dreaming of some life out on the road, oh All I dream about's a day that I'll be home Guess I forgot the way it feels to chase a dream Thank God for boxes of first CDs, yeah
A thrift store jacket and ten less pounds Looking like a fool in some big field with my bare feet on the ground Bad song titles and worse drum sounds I didn't know
That all my dreams'd come true out here on the road I never dreamed that I could call this life my own Thought I'd forgotten how it feels to chase a dream But thank God for how it feels to chase a dream Thank God for boxes of first CDs
