Now the rain on the street
makes me light on my feet when I hurry
And it seems I'm getting nowhere
so I guess I've got plenty of time
I got neon lights and money for now,
It's that memories of home
on these hard strings of mine.
it's a half a million dreamers
and an other half a million
I'd be better off back home
where I can find the comfort of a friend.
Now they all say I gotta be somewhere
where my fortune can find me
And I guess this is a great town,
but it's just a great big town to me
But in my mind I'm slippin' back now
To the good times that I left behind me
And I'm longin' for the old days
When I used to sing my songs for free
Is the way the streetlights shine
and cover up the brightness of the moon
It's a half a million dreamers
and an other half a million
Is the way the street lights shine
and cover up the brightness of the moon
It's a half a million dreamers
and an other half a million
Just a half a million dreamers
and an other half a million sleepless nights you
