[Verse]
They laughed at the boy with a pen in his hand,
Said "Dreams like yours just sink in the sand."
In a one-horse town where voices don't grow,
He chased a tune only he seemed to know.
[Verse 2]
The nights felt long, the road was tough,
Folks said his words weren't near good enough.
But he'd scribble down lines by the dim barn light,
Hoping they'd echo in the heart of the night.
[Chorus]
Now his words ride the wind, they’re carried by flames,
From dusty old bars to the bright city names.
They called him a fool, but he proved them all wrong,
That poet's dream rode hard into song.
[Verse 3]
He gave his soul to those ragged guitars,
Sang his heart raw underneath the cold stars.
His rhymes turned pages for the broken and few,
Whose dreams got crushed but still pushed through.
[Bridge]
Every word they said, cut sharp as a knife,
But he turned their doubt into the song of his life.
Now the same small-town folks who’d said he’d fail,
Hum his lyrics like a shipwreck’s sail.
[Chorus]
Now his words ride the wind, they’re carried by flames,
From dusty old bars to the bright city names.
They called him a fool, but he proved them all wrong,
That poet's dream rode hard into song.
