Dreamers Lyrics by Aaron Gillespie

stick figure cowboy

2021

[Verse 1]
A bucket of bait costs fifty cents
Mama gave me that, forget the rent
Happiness can be borrowed not just bought
She had a shit job cleaning floors for cheap
Just to remind us we were free
She wore makeup just to sling a mop
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-whoa, we didn't know we were poor as hell, just waiting out the clock
Oh-whoa, can't let go, we talked the talk, life showed us how to walk
[Chorus]
We were the dreamers
The ones you couldn't kill
Do everything we could right
But still full up with guilt
We were the losers
The ones you could outrun
Do anything we want, spend our whole lives chasing the sun
We were the dreamers
We were the dreamers
[Verse 2]
Stood in the line to get tickets to eat
Didn't even know we had a need
We lived high on the hog in that brilliant southern fog
Hand-me-downs and haven't-beens
Trying to figure out how to make some sense
Had nothing at all, fighting just to stand up tall
[Chorus]
We were the dreamers
The ones you couldn't kill
Do everything we could right
But still full up with guilt
We were the losers
The ones you could outrun
Do anything we want, spend our whole lives chasing the sun
We were the dreamers
Ah, we were the dreamers
Yeah, we were the dreamers
We were the dreamers
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-whoa, we didn't know we were poor as hell, just waiting out the clock
Oh-whoa, can't let go, we talked the talk, life showed us how to walk
[Chorus]
We were the dreamers
The ones you couldn't kill
Do everything we could right
But still full up with guilt
We were the losers
The ones you could outrun
Do anything we want, spend our whole lives chasing the sun
We were the dreamers
