Empty Dreams is a song about how our dreams sustain us no matter how little others may understand our vision and passion. <br /> <br />Musicians and singers start by learning the songs of those we admire, hoping to move beyond that to our own, but it's really a dream that sustains us whether or not we "make it". I hope you find it to be meaningful in your life. <br /> <br />LYRICS: <br /> <br />Empty Dreams <br />by Richard McCargar <br /> <br />Verse 1 <br /> <br />Rubber bands on peach crates <br />I played as George and John <br /> <br /> <br />“There’s no future in it Son” <br />I said, Someone’s gonna be the one <br /> <br /> <br />My dreams may be empty <br />but they don’t fade away <br /> <br />All hope may be lost <br />I don’t see it that way <br /> <br />Chorus: <br /> <br />Empty Dreams and Broken Bottles <br />Help Me Pass the Time <br /> <br />Empty Dreams and Broken Bottles <br />Haunt the Backroads of My Mind <br /> <br />Verse 2 <br /> <br /> <br />Must have played their songs a million times <br />to make them come out right <br /> <br />Every note and chord was magic <br />the melody makes you high <br /> <br />Every song taught me a lesson <br />about what they felt inside <br /> <br />I put pen to paper <br />Pushed My Ego Aside <br /> <br /> <br />Chorus: <br /> <br /> <br />Empty Dreams and Broken Bottles <br />Help Me Pass the Time <br /> <br />Empty Dreams and Broken Bottles <br />Haunt the Backroads of My Mind <br /> <br /> <br />Verse 3 <br /> <br />When I started my song <br />they began to sway <br /> <br /> <br />That’s when I knew <br />I was born to play <br /> <br />My dreams may be empty <br />but they don’t fade away <br /> <br /> <br />All hope may be lost <br />I don’t see it that way <br /> <br /> <br />Chorus: <br /> <br />Empty Dreams and Broken Bottles <br />Help Me Pass the Time <br /> <br />Empty Dreams and Broken Bottles <br />Help Me Free My Mind <br /> <br />copyright 2016 Richard H.
