boxes - ben rector lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
one, two, three

[verse 1]
i found boxes of first cds tryin’ to get my office clean
took ten years of folks givin’ them to me ’til i sat down
and i saw hesitant poses and torn up jeans
in cover photos friends took for free
for the six minute songs, and all their lifelong dreams the world turned down

[chorus]
they’re just dreamin’ up some life out on the road, oh
when all i dream about’s the day that i’ll be home
i’d long forgotten how it feels to chase a dream
thank god for boxes of first cds (yeah)

[verse 2]
on through this rolodex of railroad tracks and fresh-cut hair
i see joy who won some grammys and is now a millionaire
looks different now than she does right there, but that’s how it goes
as for the rest, i bet they’re teachers or pastors now
pictured in jackets girlfriends picked out
all their hometowns turned these up, all the labels turned them down, and never wrote (whoa)

[chorus]
they’re just dreamin’ up some life out on the road, oh
when all i dream about’s the day that i’ll be home
i guess i forgot the way it feels to chase a dream
thank god for boxes of first cds (yeah)

[bridge]
a thrift store jacket and ten less pounds
lookin’ like a fool in some big field with my bare feet on the ground
bad song t-tles and worse drum sounds, i didn’t know

[chorus]
that all my dreams had come true out here on the road
i never dreamed that i could call this life my own
thought i’d forgotten how it feels to chase a dream
but thank god for how it feels to chase a dream
and thank god for boxes of first cds (yeah)
