lyrics

Can't stop dreaming or it will bring you down. Can't meet the right folks in your one horse town. Can't write a song that make people want to dance. It's your small town. You can't change that. Can't stop thinking about your past. You've got regrets honey, well we all have that. You want to get out but need permission and a map. What do your children think of that? Ol' man what happened to your plans? Ol' man I don't understand. Ol' man what are your fears? You should be outta here. You were the music man. Did you complicate things? Did it all come crumbling down? There's an art to that old stonewall. You New Englanders build 'em all. Or did you talk about love and did your words go? round and round and round and round and round and round and round? Ol' man what happened to your plans? Ol' man I don't understand. Ol' man, what are your fears? You should be outta here. You were the music man.
