[Verse 1]
I ask myself again and again
Why don't I pack it up and then
Move back home and settle down
Find a good man back in my home town
Heaven knows I ain't gettin' any younger
The hands of time are tryna pull me under
But I got songs I wanna sing
The new ones, the old ones, and the in between

[Chorus]
This dream keeps chasing me
Like the bees in the yard back when I was a kid
Like my little brother on his BMX
I ran and I ran till I was out of breath
I tried for a while to deny
Who I was always born to be
I swear I'm not chasing down this dream
This dreams been chasing me

[Verse 2]
When I think back to that little girl
Singing in her hairbrush to the whole wide world
With all my dolls lined up on my bed
I can't let her down and I can't forget
[Chorus]
This dream keeps chasing me
Like the bees in the yard back when I was a kid
Like my little brother on his BMX
I ran and I ran till I was out of breath
I tried for a while to deny
Who I was always born to be
I swear I'm not chasing down this dream
This dreams been chasing me

[Bridge]
And it's not the fame or the money
Something inside says keep on running

[Chorus]
While this dream keeps chasing me
Like the sun in the rearview on the interstate
Like the good Lord did before I was saved
And he won't let me pray it away
I tried for a while to deny
Who I was always born to be
I swear I'm not chasing down this dream
This dreams been chasing me
