Everybody laughed when he told them he was leaving
It's all a sham you know you're lucky to be breathing
They said there's nothing out there but pain and fear
Smoke a fag have another beer
No one from this place ever amounted to anything
He said no one is ever gonna stop me from dreaming
No one is ever gonna stop me from dreaming
Every other day she sat waiting for the postman
A simple yes so she could stick it to her old man
He'd been on her back for coming 18 years
Those famous words ringing in her ears
No one from this family will amount to anything
She said no one is ever gonna stop me from dreaming
No one is ever gonna stop me from dreaming
No one is ever gonna stop me from dreaming
No one is ever gonna stop me from dreaming
They were two chevrons apart on the motorway that night
He watched as her car started rolling on its side
And the last thing she saw before she closed eyes
Was the face of the man who kept her dream alive
No one is ever gonna stop me from dreaming
No one is ever gonna stop me from dreaming
No one is ever gonna stop me from dreaming
You'll never know if you never try
If you don't start running you'll never fly
