Verse
Daddy brought home a photograph
from the paper yesterday.
It showed a line of wagons
Movin' someplace far away.
That picture made my Daddy smile
And it made my Momma cry.
Seems like Daddy's wagonload of dreams
have long since passed her by.
Chorus
And the dreams that make a sparrow fly
can make an eagle fall.
One that makes a rich man money
Ain't no dream at all.
It's a crying shame to wake up
Just to find its all been broke in two.
Careful what your dreamin' cause it someday may come true.
2. Well, he talked on all through suppertime
'bout a good prospector's life.
Couldn't see Momma didn't want to be
No good prospector's wife.
He said we best sell out and go
before the weather turns too cold.
Maybe buy ourselves an extry horse
to carry all that gold.
Chorus
And the dreams that make a sparrow fly
can make an eagle fall.
One that makes a rich man money
Ain't no dream at all.
It's a crying shame to wake up
Just to find its all been broke in two.
Careful what your dreamin' cause it someday may come true.
3. Well, I got up as soon as the first light came
to start the mornin' fire.
Wonderin' if my Momma's will
Cooled that man's desire.
And inside the stove upon the coals
An ashen paper lay.
Was a ghostly line of wagons
movin' someplace far away.
Chorus
And the dreams that make a sparrow fly
can make an eagle fall.
One that makes a rich man money
Ain't no dream at all.
It's a crying shame to wake up
Just to find its all been broke in two.
Careful what your dreamin' cause it someday may come true.
There! I think that should erase the brain fart.
Later.
