Age Old Dream
When I was young and seventeen
I left to find an age-old dream
It is true every boy will know
One day he'll leave his mamma's home
And I broke my back on the mountainside
Left my heart on this mountainside
I've punched these holes in the rocky ground
And I dug with only the dark around
I had a good boss and he died too
And everyone since has been a fool
And it's dark and cold on the mountainside
Breaking our backs on this mountainside
Every night I sleep with you
In dreams and sometimes nightmares
Pennies come and the nickels go
And years go by still nowhere close
And I'm tryin' to leave the mountainside
Getting off this damned divide
Workin' for what might be left
And tryin' to make a long lost self
On the the trails of hopeful lives
That never quit so I keep tryin'
And I broke my heart on the mountainside
Trying to cross this damned divide
