If you want the life you always dreamed of
The home, the wife,
The money, the view
Grand piano too
Dogs running around the yard
In the community
The mind and body one
Education and the skills you need
You gotta raise your game
The greater the sacrifice
The greater the potential reward
Takes discipline and obsession
To handle the pressure
All those years of struggle, failure and doubt…
You get cast out
So you shut down
Go off into the mountains alone
Where the wild wolves roam
Mystic ghosts unknown
There are moments of madness and despair
You might even go back to try
That good old life one last time
Maybe they were right
So you get drunk all night
Fall in love with some small town pretty girl
Drunk kisses in the moonlight
Finally things looking bright
Until it all falls apart again
Hearts torn wide open
And those wild wolves
Howl for you to come back
To raise your game
Now you are finally here
Living the dream
Madly in love with reality
The way it was always meant to be
Writing songs and poetry
As the rain falls down
Wonder if someday somehow
This will all make sense
Before the money runs out
Before i lose all hope
Before i die
