Seger was singing words I could believe in
 And "Main Street" was my street that night,
 So I called up Samantha and asked her the 
 Chance of us running out 'neath the moonlight.
 
 
 Well, she's 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 awhile. So...
 
 
 I labor for hours 'cause I know the power
 Of a song when when a song hits you right;
 Pouring my soul into stories of life,
 Hopin' someone'll 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-n-comer, 
 Cranking up "Born to Run."
 Turned 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.
 
 
 I labor for hours 'cause I know the power
 Of a song when when a song hits you right;
 Pouring my soul into stories of life,
 Hopin' someone'll 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
 
 
 I labor for hours 'cause I know the power
 Of a song when when a song hits you right;
 Pouring my soul into stories of life,
 Hopin' someone'll 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
