Mama always told me I was a fighter
And nothing could keep me down
She said never say never
And I always knew better
Than to keep both feet on the ground
I'm just one step behind
Reaching cloud number 9 and gravity's got nothing on me
A girl's gotta dream and you'd better believe
The lights are gonna shine on me

Those thoughts of broadway
And lights around my name on the marquee
Keep me flying and trying to be the best
This town has ever seen
I don't know how to get there, but I'll get there just watch me
Live the dream

When I was a bit younger somebody told me
Girl you're wasting your time
They said no one ever makes it in country music
(show business) and they're gonna eat you alive I stood
Forcing a smile for a little while and left him with a wink
Cause I know one day
He'll see my face on the cover of a magazine

Those thoughts of broadway
And lights around my name on the marquee
Keep me flying and trying
To be the best this town has ever seen
I don't know how to get there, but I'll get there just watch me
Live the dream

I wanna hear the crowds singing my songs back to me
I wanna play music every day
And give another girl a dream I wanna show the world
You can be what you want to be

Those thoughts of broadway
And lights around my name on the marquee keep me flying
And trying to be the best this town has ever seen
I don't know how to get there, but I'll get there just watch me
Live the dream
