When I was just a child
Small town kid with a heart gone wild
I wondered where you are
Looking for you somewhere in the stars
They say this life ain't free,
Money can't buy what you're doing to me
I show you streets of Gold
Open your eyes
And watch it unfold
Ima shake the shadow
Sharpen up your arrow
Climbin' up that ladder,
I'm wide awake
In this city made of dreams
We'll go down in history
Greatest story ever told
The one that we wrote
In this city made of dreams
I still lock you in my sleep
It's a lockin' walkin' road
and I'll carry her home
I paid for past mistakes
Keep me long way from my darker days
Stayed high 'til 4 AM
Wastin away with all of my friends
That's when you came along
Green eyed dreamer with the siren song
You found me out at sea
Left me to drown on the barrol reef
Ima shake the shadow
Sharpen up your arrow
Climbin' up that ladder
I'm wide awake
In this city made of dreams
We'll go down in history
Greatest story ever told
The one that we wrote
In this city made of dreams
I still lock you in my sleep
It's a lockin' walkin' road
and I'll carry her home
And I carry her home
In this city made of dreams
We'll go down in history
Greatest story ever told
The one that we wrote
In this city made of dreams
I still lock you in my sleep
It's a lockin' walkin' road
and I'll carry her home
And I carry her home
