She blew in from out of town Georgia tags and a rag top down Turning heads in the neighborhood Half downhome, Half Hollywood looking good She had two months rent in rolled up cash A blue tick hound that she called Nash Sent a postcard home with an ocean view Just got here Momma I miss you When she prays every night And when she wakes every morning The sun shines on a dreamer Shines a light on you when you listen to your heart The sun shines on a dreamer Shines a light on you through the dim, through the dark She met Joe at the Grocery Late one night in aisle three Standing next to the refried beans Shining through his old blue jeans Well hello is all it took And they rambled on down the road The sun shines on a dreamer Shines a light on you when you listen to your heart The sun shines on a dreamer Shines a light on you through the dim, through the dark They climbed onto the carousel Now theyre sitting up there on top of the world Arms wide open to the sky Yeah you gotta dream if you wanna fly Yeah you gotta dream if you wanna fly The sun shines on a dreamer Shines a light on you when you listen to your heart The sun shines on a dreamer Shines a light on you through the dim, through the dark
