Tom Russell - Where The Dream Begins
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C F C G C
[Verse 1]
What happened to the kid in the Fbaseball Ccap?
Well, he’s trying to get home but I Gthink he lost the Cmap
What happened to the kid with the Fbraces on his Cteeth?
He had an autographed picture of MuGhammad CAli
He’s just a Fwise-assed, buck-toothed, Bbnear-sighted fool F
Always Cstaring at the girls in the Gswimming Cpool
FThirty years later and he’s Bbstaring again F
He’s Csearching for the place where the Gdreams beCgin
Searching for the Amplace where the dream beDmgins C
[Verse 2]
Then he bought a bunch of records and he Fheard a man Csing
He said, "If I could write a song, I beGlieve I’d be a Cking"
But it took him twenty years unFtil he got the Cnerve
He’s got boxes full of papers and Gpapers full of Cwords
And the Fwords fly away like Bbswallows on the Fwind
But they Cnever flew back to the Gnest aCgain
Never took him to the Amplace where the dream beDmgins
[Interlude]
C F C G C
[Verse 3]
Then he finally got married and he Fhad two little Cgirls
But he didn’t see ‘em much cause he Ghad to see the Cworld
And the lie that he told ‘em is "I’m Flike most Cmen
It’s always down the road that the Gdream beCgins"
And the Fgirls grew up to be Bbpretty and wise F
They said, "You Ccould have seen the dream by Glooking in our Ceyes
FYou were always living in the Bbworld of pretend F
You kept Crunning away from Gwhere the dream Cbegins
Running aAmway from where the dream beDmgins" C
[Verse 4]
Now he’s living with a woman out on FBorderland CRoad
But her love’s turned bitter and her Geyes turned Ccold
She said, "We came to the desert, let the Fsickness Cmend
But Hell ain’t the place where the Gdreams beCgin"
FLook out boys I’m Bbgaining on you F
He’s old CBlind Joe Death in his Galligator Cshoes
He’s got a Fpocketful of pills and a Bbpint of sloe gin F
He’s gonna Cshow you to the place where the Gdream beCgins
Follow him Amdown where the dream beDmgins
[Interlude]
C F C G C
[Verse 5]
At the end of the road there ain’t Fnothing but Cfear
Just a big old room with a Gbig old Cmirror
And the man in the mirror his Fhair’s turning Cgrey
And his hands begin to shake in a Gfunny kind of Cway
He’s knows Feverything you bring for to Bbsave your soul F
ECverything denied will conGdemn you to the Chole
With his Fhand on his heart, he Bbpicks up his pen F
He goes Csearching for the place where the Gdream beCgins
Looking for the Amplace where the dream beDmgins C
[Outro]
What happened to the kid in the Fbaseball Ccap?
Well, he’s trying to get home but I Gthink he lost the Cmap
