When I was a little country boy I had a dream, Our family wasn't poor but rich instead

I took to the road instead of staying home to help, And that dream just withered up inside my head

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down

When I was a strong young man I fell in love with Sue, I wanted her to be my wife someday

But I couldn't bring myself to say "Sue, I love you", And that dream just fell to the ground and blew away

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down

When I reached middle age I hungered for success, And things like fancy limousines and such

About as close as I came to that fancy limousine, Was a thirty thousand dollar greyhound bus

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down

When I reached my golden years I often had a dream, That I'd be respected by society

But here I am on skid row with a bottle in my hand, And free advice to give to fools like me

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes When I was a little country boy I had a dream, Our family wasn't poor but rich instead

I took to the road instead of staying home to help, And that dream just withered up inside my head

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down

When I was a strong young man I fell in love with Sue, I wanted her to be my wife someday

But I couldn't bring myself to say "Sue, I love you", And that dream just fell to the ground and blew away

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down

When I reached middle age I hungered for success, And things like fancy limousines and such

About as close as I came to that fancy limousine, Was a thirty thousand dollar greyhound bus

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down

When I reached my golden years I often had a dream, That I'd be respected by society

But here I am on skid row with a bottle in my hand, And free advice to give to fools like me

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down

All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down
