lyrics

I remember a long time ago
Records send me reeling
Falling in and out of love
Music, it kept interfering

When we were young, we’d set the world on fire
Change everyone’s opinion
Now the world’s made me a liar
From a hero to the villain

But I ran down every dream
I swear I had the best intentions
(Best intentions)
I ran down every dream
Some good, some bad, some we shall not ever mention
(Ever mention, ever mention again)

And I recall when time stood still
Now the clock is ticking
I’ve seen so many dreams disappear
Forgot like rhymes that I’ve written

But that’s my life
Hey, how about you?
Do you find yourself forgiven?
When I wake up with a brand new tune
That’s how I know I’m still living

And I ran down every dream
I swear I had the best intentions
(Best intentions)
I ran down every dream
Some good, some bad, some we shall not ever mention
(Ever mention, ever mention again)
I remember

Tommy McLain Jonesville, Louisiana

Tommy McLain is perhaps the last great artist from rock ‘n’ roll’s pioneering first generation awaiting rediscovery. The signature swamp pop sound that he helped create spawned multiple national hits in the 1960s and inspired artists like Creedence Clearwater Revival, Little Feat, and Tony Joe White, among others. His best known song - “Sweet Dreams" - is considered a cornerstone of the genre. ... more
