Lyrics

My mother told me you can do most anything
Just be the best that you can be
Sometimes you feel your best will never be enough
To get to where you want to be

I wish she told me not to give up on my dreams
It was the best advice I never had

My father said it’s time to get a steady job
Leave the foolish things of youth behind
As I sat behind that desk my guitar was calling me
Those melodies were always on my mind

I wish he told me not to give up on my dreams
It was the best advice I never had

And day by day
Your dreams slip away
But you don’t see the way you’re changing
You should never stop believing

I wish they told me not to give up on my dreams
It was the best advice I never had

And day by day
Your dreams slip away
But you don’t see the way you’re changing
Never stop your dreaming

My girl she told me that it’s time to settle down
We’re at the age to start a family
Now my son is grown with dreams of his own
I make sure that he’s listening to me

I always tell him not to give up on his dreams
And that’s the best advice he’ll ever have.
