I’m going to dream, I’m going to dream street,
I said, I’m going to dream street, be a star.
Somehow I’ll get there, somehow I’ll get there.
I got a mother, I got a mother,
I got a mother in the ground.
Sometimes I see her, sometimes I see her.
But my daddy don’t like it when I wish too far,
He says I don’t got the means, but I got the heart,
And I traded all I own for a busted up guitar,
I’m going to play it so hard.
I go to work but my father takes the pay,
He’s upset with his life takes it out on me.
Sometimes I cry at night but I get strong in the daylight.
But my daddy don’t like it when I wish too far,
He says I don’t got the means, but I got the heart,
And I traded all I own for a busted up guitar,
I’m going to play it so hard.
You with your feet on ground,
Well I got one foot on a cloud.
But my daddy don’t like it when I wish too far,
He says I don’t got the means, but I got the heart,
And I traded all I own for a busted up guitar,
I’m going to play it so hard.

"I'm staggered by how good she is. I can honestly say she's the most exciting thing I've heard in a long
time."
– Bernie Taupin, Elton John's cowriter
"I've never seen an unknown performer with more power as when I saw Ariana performing at a music convention – I couldn't stop talking about her. The last performer I felt this way about was Bruce Springsteen"
– Dave Marsh, Rolling Stone Magazine...more
The whole album is awesome. But I gravitated first toward "Portland". Then "Wildwood Flower" because I'm familiar the 10,000 Maniacs cover. Very different; AVK's is very contemplative. Jameson Calantoc
