about

A song partly inspired by recently reading Bruce Springsteen's autobiography.

lyrics

I knew a guy who bought a brand new cadillac car
Just to cruise around town acting like a big star
He thought he was so cool, but he was just a poor fool
Living a fantasy

He used to have a girl who wore old torn blue jeans
She didn't need much make up to look like a dream
She held her head up high and said good by to that guy
Who was living a fantasy

Her kisses were like fire
And her heart was made of gold
She took me higher and higher
I felt like a knight in armor in the days of old.

My father was like a king in the pool hall in town
He didn't even look up when I came around
He wanted to be number one
He didn't even care about his son
He was living a fantasy
Living a fantasy

There was a skinny little kid in my high school
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't be cool
He saved up for a guitar
He wanted to be a rock star
He was living a fantasy
Living a fantasy

When the boss took the stage the crowd all screamed
He was once that little kid with a guitar and a dream
He picked up his guitar
And he reached for the stars
Living a fantasy
Living a fantasy
