My mom told me to follow my dreams My dad said it would not work Indeed, here I am Sleeping in a trailer Me and my guitar in the streets of Gyn In bars between whiskeys and bad nights sleep My mom told me to follow my dreams My father told me to go back home I like how life takes us places we never expected to go I like the life I lead I'm free and happy Me and my guitar on these cold nights Between one song and another A sip of whiskey Between one song and another One love or another My mom told me to follow my dreams My dad said she was right Because not always what makes us happy is what gives us money Because our greatest wealth is our memories
