[Verse 1] Mama always told me i was a fighter and nothing could keep me down She said never say never and I always knew better than to keep both feet on the ground I'm just one step behind reaching cloud number 9 and gravity's got nothing on me A girl's gotta dream and you'd better believe the lights are gonna shine on me [Chorus] Those thoughts of broadway and lights around my name on the marquee Keep me flying and trying to be the best this town has ever seen I don't know how to get there, but I'll get there just watch me Live the dream [Verse 2] When I was a bit younger somebody told me, girl you're wasting your time They said no one ever makes it in country music (show business) and they're gonna eat you alive I stood forcing a smile for a little while and left him with a wink Cause I know one day he'll see my face on the cover of a magazine [Chorus] [Bridge] I wanna hear the crowds singing my songs back to me I wanna play music every day and give another girl a dream I wanna show the world you can be what you want to be [Chorus]
