Lyrics
Walking down the road, guitar and bag in hand
I’m gonna make this happen, I’m gonna take a stand
I have this dream inside, now clouding up my mind
Don’t know where I’m going or what I’m gonna find

I said yes, oh yes to the music of my dreams
Yes to the promise that burns inside of me
I said yes, oh yes to the music of my dreams
Yes to the promise that burns inside of me ……….

My poppa always told me to put, music out my mind
but the rhythm of my heart beats to the tune I hear inside
He says a musician life is not the way for me
Oh why can’t he see music sets my spirit free

I said yes, oh yes to the music of my dreams
Yes to the promise that burns inside of me
I said yes, oh yes to the music of my dreams
Yes to the promise that burns inside of me………

My momma she would play the country rhythm blues
together we would fly on her melancholy cruise
She tried to keep the peace, but was hurting deep inside
and one day when I raced home, my momma she had died

Scribble in her hand was a note she wrote to me
she said baby, don’t be angry, lonely, you’ll never be
No matter where you are, I am always by your side
just promise me you’ll find the tune you have inside

I said yes, oh yes to the music of my dreams
Yes to the promise that burns inside of me
I said yes, oh yes to the music of my dreams
Yes to the promise that burns inside of me …….

Walking down the road, guitar and bag in hand
I’m gonna make this happen, I’m gonna make a stand
I have this dream inside, now clouding up my mind
Don’t know where I’m going or what I’m gonna find
