Even If It Breaks Your Heart - Commentary

Way back on the radio dial

The fire got lit inside a bright-eyed child

Every note just wrapped around his soul

From steel guitars to Memphis, all the way to rock and roll

Oh, I can hear em playin'

I can hear the ringin' of a beat up ol' guitar

Oh, I can hear em singin',

"Keep on dreamin', even if it breaks your heart"

Downtown is where I used to wander

Old enough to get there but too young to get inside

So I would stand out on the sidewalk

Listen to the music playin' every Friday night

Oh, I can hear em playin'

I can hear the ringin of a beat up ol' guitar

Oh, I can hear em singin

"Keep on dreamin', even if it breaks your heart"

Some dreams stay with you forever

Drag you around but bring you back to where you were

Some dreams keep on gettin' better

Gotta keep believin' if you wanna know for sure

Oh, I can hear em playin'

I can hear the ringin of a beat up ol' guitar

Oh, I can hear em singin',

"Keep on dreamin', even if it breaks your heart"

Oh, I can hear em playin'

I can hear the ringin' of a beat up ol' guitar

Oh, I can hear em singin'

"Keep on dreamin, even if it breaks your heart"

Keep on dreamin, even if it breaks your heart

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, keep on dreamin', oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, don't let it break your heart
