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
