Chasing Dreams in the Clouds

[Verse 1]
Coffee in a paper cup
Suitcase by the kitchen chair
Mama says, “You sure you’re ready?”
I say, “I’m more scared to stay right here”
One last look at that mailbox
Name painted on the rusted tin
Heart beating like a truck door slam
I turn the key and let it in
[Chorus]
I’m chasing dreams in the clouds
Windows down, singing way too loud
Every mile a little more proud
Of that kid who said it out loud
If I fall, I’ll fall from high
At least I tried, at least I tried
Yeah, I’m chasing dreams in the clouds
Not on the ground this time
[Verse 2]
Exit signs and billboards blur
Small town names I’ll never know
Playlist full of hometown heroes
Praying one day I’m that show
Text from dad, “Just keep your faith”
He never says the words “I’m scared”
But he sent a pic of my old ball cap
Riding shotgun on his chair
[Chorus]
I’m chasing dreams in the clouds
Windows down, singing way too loud
Every mile a little more proud
Of that kid who said it out loud
If I fall, I’ll fall from high
At least I tried, at least I tried
Yeah, I’m chasing dreams in the clouds
Not on the ground this time
[Bridge]
Maybe I’ll crash
Maybe I’ll fly
But I won’t die wondering why
I traded safe
For this wild sky
(oh, this wild sky)
[Chorus]
I’m chasing dreams in the clouds
Windows down, singing way too loud
Every mile a little more proud
Of that kid who said it out loud
If I fall, I’ll fall from high
At least I tried, at least I tried
Yeah, I’m chasing dreams in the clouds
And I’m never coming down
