  • We Were The Dreamers, shooting high for the stars
    Making rock roll music playing country guitars
    We blazed the trail for generations to come
    Yeah, We Were The Dreamers, just some kids having fun
    When there's nothing to prove, there's nothing to lose
    When you're just playin' your music and payin' your dues
    (But )when people kept comin' sayin' give us some more
    How could we not, when that's what we were there for
    Yeah, We Were The Dreamers, we were the ones
    Though others would claim their day in the sun
    Now's just a shadow of day's come and gone
    We Were The Dreamers pioneers, pressing on
    It's been forty-some years nineteen sixty-nine
    On the Troubadour stage, it just seemed like our time
    Laurel Canyon and Sunset, that's where we'd call home
    We made certain our music had a sound all its own
    Today out of Nashville, - it echoes the sound
    But back then redneck and hippy would never be found
    On the same stage together though a few got it for sure
    Today, it's just music nothing less, nothing more
    Yeah, We Were The Dreamers, we were the ones
    Though others would claim their day in the sun
    Now's just a shadow of day's come and gone
    But We Were The Dreamers pioneers, pressing on Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
