So you think you found something you can believe in Then find that it's moved very far away Success is just a word to keep you running So many people act as if they know the way I know that nothing's gonna change if you keep looking that way We know there's more to this than meets the eye So don't think you can't see what I see And I see The distance that surrounds you The distance all around you From the caves of France to the tablets of Sumeria Siberia to Central Mexico It crossed the dirted plains to Austin, Texas It always seems to come and never fails to go Chasing dreams, chasing dreams I think I found a better place to go I think I found a better place to go It hid on hitch hike trails and songs of freedom Then woke itself in Memphis, Tennessee While Buddy Holly died inside an airplane It went from Minnesota to the village N.Y.C. Chasing dreams, chasing dreams I think I found a better place to go No I think I'm goin' the right way No I think I'm goin' the wrong way No I think I'm gonna go to Colorado No I changed my mind I'm gonna do Chicago That surrounds you All around you It covered its tracks back to San Francisco Some people argue Kesey never bowed From Detroit, Michigan to Britain, England Motown cried real hard, and then she laughed real loud Chasing dreams, chasing dreams I think I found a better place to go I think I found a better place to go Surprise, it landed down in Athens, Georgia It came up like the sun a couple years ago Some still think it's in Seattle with that Grunge thing But I just saw it and it's headed back for Mexico Chasing dreams, chasing dreams I think I found a better place to go Why does everything seem simple in the first play When we know that 99.9% won't make it, Yin Yang Nothing will change if you don't see The distance that surrounds you The distance all around you
