[Verse]
Early mornings stretch like shadows
Late nights ache in the bones
Coffee's bitter but it keeps me breathing
[Chorus]
Big dreams in a small city
Chasing ghosts down empty streets
Family man with calloused hands
The weight don't break me it completes me
[Verse 2]
Traffic lights blinking tired and lonely
Storefront windows reflecting my face
Dusty sidewalks whisper stories I can't escape
[Prechorus]
Dreams grow heavy like a stormy sky
But they still rise they still try
[Chorus]
Big dreams in a small city
Chasing ghosts down empty streets
Family man with calloused hands
The weight don't break me it completes me
[Bridge]
Hands to the plow heart to the grind
World keeps turning leaves me behind
But I'll carve my name in this stubborn ground
Big dreams won't stay down won't stay down
