Bilingual
I paint my smile in the mirror when the real one's gone
This just ain't the kind of show that I thought I'd put on
Wiping tables when I should be singing songs
ย
I cut my teeth on these barstools that I'm serving now
I watch all my friends grow up and they just leave this town
Guess I'm lost again right where I was found
Waiting, waiting
Thank God I didn't know at twenty-two
How goddamn long a dream takes to come true
ย
Passing by all the marquees I used to run around
I played that stage with Eric Church 'til they took my name down
Fourteen years into this so-called ten-year town
And I'm waiting, waiting
I'm not where I thought I'd be at thirty-two
How goddamn long does it take to make a dream come true?
ย
They got stubborn in the water where I come from
And you don't wait on trains you think will never come
So I'm waiting, waiting
And I can't wait to hear the things I'll say at forty-two
But how goddamn long does it take to make a dream come true?
