It was just a country boy working on his daddy's farm
Sometimes all night long he'd be playing his guitar
He always had dreams of being a country star
But his daddy told him so, you belong here on the farm
He wrote song after song, his father never knew
That night he'd lie there thinking how his dream could come true
He said, we're nationalists
We're nationalists
The life that always loved
Slowly turned into a memory
Down the freeway as it runs
There's an unwritten rule that says
Hold on to your dreams
Don't let them fade away
They are ours to keep
No matter where you come from
No matter who you are
There's a chance for everyone, just follow your heart
They made it to Nashville, got his own five-piece band
It all was almost close to cause, that all happened so fast
But like any son who wants to figure
Life on the road, life on the road

Not on his own
Everything he left behind kept calling him back home
There's an old written rule that says, hold on to your dreams
Don't let them fade away, they're yours to keep
No matter where you come from, no matter who you are
Don't let them fade away, they're yours to keep

There's a chance for everyone, just follow your heart
After three years without the same home, he has no more time to lose
He stared at me and he met the gays and said, son I'm proud of you
There's an old written rule that says, hold on to your dreams
Don't let them fade away, they're yours to keep
Don't let them fade away, they're yours to keep
No matter where you come from, no matter who you are
There's a chance for everyone, just follow your heart
There's a chance for everyone, just follow your heart
There's an old written rule that says, hold on to your dreams
