"Daydreams" lyrics

I wanted to be a big star
I wanted my name in lights on the main drag
America's new sweetheart
Complaining about attention and jet lag
Making big deals with big record labels
Saying things like "how much money's on the table"
Hard to believe that was me

Cause when I close my eyes now
I see you on a back porch next to me
White board and batten
A couple pairs of little bare feet
Music playing too loud
At a podunk beer and pizza place
Front seat of your old Ford
For a weekend date
Wood picket fence, blue painted sky
I'm still thinking big, still aiming high
But my daydreams ain't what they used to look like

Some days, it's fun
Being out on the road, going town to town
I ain't saying I'm done
But sometimes I think about finding a way out
God knows I can't quit
A younger me would've begged for this but

When I close my eyes now
I see you on a back porch next to me
White board and batten
A couple pairs of little bare feet
Music playing too loud
At a podunk beer and pizza place
Front seat of your old Ford
For a weekend date
Wood picket fence, blue painted sky
I'm still thinking big, still aiming high
But my daydreams ain't what they used to look like

Maybe I've seen too much
Girls at the top taking pills backstage
Cause a CMA don't cure a heartache
I guess all that fame still ain't enough

Cause when I close my eyes now
I see you on a back porch next to me
White board and batten
A couple pairs of little bare feet
Music playing too loud
At a podunk beer and pizza place
Front seat of your old Ford
For a weekend date
Wood picket fence, blue painted sky
I'm still thinking big, I'm still aiming high
My daydreams ain't what they used to look like
