Mama always told me, I was a fighter and nothing could keep me down She said never say never, Always knew better than to keep both feet on the ground I'm just one step behind reaching cloud number nine and gravi-ty's got nothing on me The girls gotta dream and you better believe the lights are gonna shine on me (Chorus) Those thoughts of broad ways and lights around my name on the marquee Keep me flying and I'm trying to be the best this town has ever seen And I don't know how to get there, but I'll get there, just watch me Live the Dream When I was bit younger, somebody told me, Girl, you're wasting your time He said, No one ever makes it in the show business and they're gonna eat you alive I stood forcing a smile for a little while, then left him with a wink 'Cause I know, one day he'll see my face on the cover of a magazine (Chorus) Those thoughts of broad ways and lights around my name on the marquee Keep me flying and I'm trying to be the best this town has ever seen And I don't know how to get there, but I'll get there, just watch me Live the Dream oh oh, I wanna hear the crowd singing my songs back to me I wanna play music, everyday and give another girl a dream I wanna show the world, you can be what you wanna be (Chorus) Those thoughts of broad ways and lights around my name on the marquee Keep me flying and I'm trying to be the best this town has ever seen And I don't know how to get there, but I'll get there, just watch me (Tag) Just watch me live the dream, Watch me live the dream Watch me live the dream, oh watch me live the dream
