Young girl, seventeen, eyes full of hope, full of dreams
Ready to take this world on, by the horns
Driving dirt tracks in that old Ford
Shifting gears, one through to four
Picture in her mind so clear, of that long white line
Says, daddy I'm ready, pass them keys
It's my turn now, to be free
Never wanted it so bad
To hit that open road
Daddy said, have a little more patience
Take a step back, and use your time
It's a long hard road to find your pot of gold
Let it ride, time's on your side
Just keep your dreams alive
He dreams at night of stages, and a travelling show
Singing to towns and faces, he don't know
With his head in the clouds, just a boy of ten
His old man says you can do anything with a guitar and a pen
But he said, have a little more patience
Take a step back and use your time
It's a long hard road to find your pot of gold
Let it ride, time's on your side
Just keep your dreams alive
Don't ever lose track of your dreams
Keep working hard, learn what it all means
To give everything
Daddy said, have a little more patience
Take a step back, and use your time
It's a long hard road to find your pot of gold
Let it ride
Daddy said, have a little more patience
Take a step back, and use your time
It's a long hard road to find your pot of gold
Let it ride, take it all in your stride
'Cause time's on your side
Just keep your dreams alive
