Lyrics: David Nelson
Music: David Nelson
A David Nelson Band song, I think written by David himself.
My daddy was a practical man
I was the only thing that he didn't plan
I never thought he'd ever understand
That I was born a dreamer
I know at times I must have let the man down
Seemed like I'd never get my feet on the ground
He was always talking, I never heard a sound
'Cause I was busy dreaming
Born a dreamer always aiming too high
Hungry for a slice of that pie in the sky
Born a dreamer, flying too high
My pop and me we hardly ever got along
Everything I did was something else I did wrong
He was always there, I was always gone
'Cause I was born a dreamer
Born a dreamer always aiming too high
Hungry for a slice of that pie in the sky
Born a dreamer, aiming too high
I won't forget the day he took me aside
And to my surprise he looked at me with pride
You never knew it, but I'm a dreamer too
Lately here I've done some dreaning through you
I was born a dreamer always aiming too high
Hungry for a slice of that pie in the sky
Born a dreamer, aiming too high
Born a dreamer, aiming so high
Born a dreamer, aiming so high
Born a dreamer, aiming so high
Born a dreamer, aiming so high
Born a dreamer, aiming so high
