Seger was singin' words I could believe in And Mainstreet was my street that night So I called up Samantha And asked her the chance of us runnin' out neath the moon light Well shes not with me now, she can always be found When I rewind the radio dial And like it was then I feel her on my skin And I'm back there for a while So I labor for hours 'cause I know the power of a song When a song hits you right Poured my soul into stories of life Hopin' someone will hear one tonight Maybe my voice will cut through the noise And stir up an old memory And out of these piano keys Comes the sound The sound of a million dreams My 18th summer I was a cocky up and come'er Crankin' up "Born To Run" Turn left out the drive with the pistons open wide And I came back a prodigal son My spirit was broken, she threw the door open I love you not I told you so When I hear mama tried I still break down and cry And pull to the side of the road And I labor for hours 'cause I know the power of a song When a song hits you right Poured my soul into stories of life Hopin' someone will hear one tonight Maybe my voice will cut through the noise And stir up an old memory And out of these piano keys Comes the sound The sound of a million dreams So I labor for hours 'cause I know the power of a song When a song hits you right Poured my soul into stories of life Hopin' someone will hear one tonight Maybe my voice will cut through the noise And stir up an old memory And out of these piano keys Comes the sound The sound of a million dreams The sound of a million dreams
