▷ LETRA: Boxes - Ben Rector

Letra

[Intro]

         One, two, three

[Verse 1]

I found boxes of first CDs tryin to get my office clean

Took ten years of folks givin them to me til I sat down

And I saw hesitant poses and torn up jeans

In cover photos friends took for free

For the six minute songs, and all their lifelong dreams the world turned down

[Chorus]

   They re just dreamin up some life out on the road, oh

   When all I dream about s the day that I ll be home

I d long forgotten how it feels to chase a dream

Thank God for boxes of first CDs (yeah)

[Instrumental]


[Verse 2]

On through this Rolodex of railroad tracks and fresh-cut hair

I see Joy who won some Grammys and is now a millionaire

Looks different now than she does right there, but that s how it goes

As for the rest, I bet they re teachers or pastors now

Pictured in jackets girlfriends picked out

All their hometowns turned these up, all the labels turned them down, and never wrote (whoa)

[Chorus]

   They re just dreamin up some life out on the road, oh

   When all I dream about s the day that I ll be home

I d long forgotten how it feels to chase a dream

Thank God for boxes of first CDs (yeah)

[Instrumental]


[Bridge]

A thrift store jacket and ten less pounds

Lookin like a fool in some big field with my bare feet on the ground

Bad song titles and worse drum sounds, I didn t know

[Chorus]

That all my dreams had come true out here on the road

I never dreamed that I could call this life my own

Thought I d forgotten how it feels to chase a dream

But thank God for how it feels to chase a dream

And thank God for boxes of first CDs (yeah)

[Outro]
