Balsam Range - Chasing Someone Else's Dreams lyrics

[Verse 1] At least five days a week - sometimes more I'm up with the sun - and headed out the door Most nights I don't get home 'til eight or nine I make a living - anyway I can Everywhere I turn - I answer to a man Who only cares about the bottom line [Chorus] I've heard the old folks say - you'll never work a day If you like what you do - and I'd say it's probably true That the only way to find - the path to peace of mind Is to follow your heart - right from the start But it's never been as easy as it seems Cause it's hard to get ahead when you're chasing someone else's dreams [Verse 2] I know that there's a lot of folks like me Who aren't looking for a handout or an ounce of sympathy Just a way to get a piece of the pie Cause the game has changed for the common man It takes credit cards, I.O.U.s and more installment plans Spending every minute just trying to get by [Chorus] I've heard the old folks say - you'll never work a day If you like what you do - and I'd say it's probably true That the only way to find - the path to peace of mind Is to follow your heart - right from the start But it's never been as easy as it seems Cause it's hard to get ahead when you're chasing someone else's dreams [Bridge] It's not because I'm lazy, out of touch or going crazy I'm barely breaking even and I need a thing or two I can believe in [Chorus] I've heard the old folks say - you'll never work a day If you like what you do - and I'd say it's probably true That the only way to find - the path to peace of mind Is to follow your heart - right from the start But it's never been as easy as it seems Cause it's hard to get ahead when you're chasing someone else's dreams It's so hard to get ahead when you're chasing someone else's dreams
