LYRICS:
We played in the clubs and bars
Feeling like rising stars
Weathered Cuban heels
Hell on wheels
Everybody knows
Nothing keeps you going
Like a big-time dream
Everybody knows
Nothing keeps you going
Like a big-time dream
I move on
I stand still
I'm doin' whatever it takes
Why's it always feel like going uphill
Everybody knows
Nothing keeps you going
Like a big-time dream
Time it was moving so fast
But I'm still walking this path
Near as I can tell
Things are going well
Everybody knows
Nothing keeps you going
Like a big-time dream
Everybody knows
Nothing keeps you going
Like a big-time dream
Everybody knows
Nothing keeps you going
Like a big-time dream
Thread your fingers through mine
It's a new day
Pull me in closer and say
Hang on to me
I'm not letting you go
Had a dream we were falling
But falling as two
Did you hear what I said to you
Hang on to me
I'm not letting you go
I'm not letting you go
Hang on to me
