lyrics

making dreams come true (cletis carr)


spent all summer behind a petrol pump
tried to save enough to get out of this dump
the year was ’71 and I was eighteen
no country town is gonna help find my dream

just a few more weeks, I’ll leave it all behind
I’ll get outta here before I lose my mind
cause it’s all so hard to do
making dreams come true

bought the petrol station in ’76
had me a wife and had a mess of kids
more and more of them mouths to feed
if I could only get the big money down in the city

just a few more weeks, I’ll leave it all behind
I’ll get outta here before I lose my mind
cause it’s all so hard to do
making dreams come true

now it’s ’94, and my son’s eighteen
he’s pumping petrol and pumping up his dreams
saving his money for the big escape
he’s got a mind like steel and superman’s cape

just a few more weeks, he’ll leave it all behind
he’ll get outta here before he loses his mind
I used to be one of his kind
but it’s all so hard to do
making dreams come true

about

Cletis Carr

Singer-songwriter Cletis Carr knows a good yarn. Especially when paired with a good melody and some gritty slide guitar.

A careful student of the human condition, Carr's story-songs play out like mini-movies. Tales of joy, heartbreak, redemption, ordinary madness and everyday heroes are framed in a rich tapestry of acoustic steel-string guitar, dobro and lap slide.
