Matt Woods - The Dream lyrics

She used to run like a top, boys
That's the God’s-honest truth
A thousand dollar paint job
Blood red white and blue
Kick you back in your seat
When she's catching third
And her quarter-mile scream was the
Sweetest thing I'd ever heard

She made me feel we could make it real
And roar through the dark of night
At the speed of sound
It broke my heart the day
The Dream broke down

We used to cruise up Broadway
Summers on Saturday nights
Turn around at the drive-in and park
Under the ball field lights
Bobby played shortstop
He used to like to talk so tough
’Til the light turned green and he
Could see he didn't have enough

She made me feel like we could make it real
And roar through the dark of night
At the speed of sound
It broke my heart the day
The Dream broke down

Proverbs and the old men say
There's pride before the fall
Beware the ghost in the machine
Living on the redline without any care at all
Wind up losing everything

She's parked 'round back now
Hasn't caught a light in years
Dust on the dashboard, thrown rod
And stripped-out gears
If you listen real hard you
Can almost hear that scream
And relive the glory of
The gone-but not-forgotten Dream

She made me feel like we could make it real
And roar through the dark of night
At the speed of sound
It broke my heart the day
The Dream broke down she made me feel
Like we could make it real
And roar through the dark of night
At the speed of sound
It broke my heart the day The Dream
Broke my heart the day The Dream
Broke my heart the day The Dream broke down
