Castle Rock Kid Lyrics

From South Colorado he's a Castle Rock Kid

By the old Wells Fargo where he used to live

If you keep driving down that dirt road he'd say

That's where you'll find me first house on the left

He said Sometimes I wake with the sun on my face

But it's not very often since Dad went away

Ma said it was love but I think it was fate

'Cause that man loved money more than us anyway

I heard he's some big shot now

Writing country songs for sold-out crowds

But man wouldn't it be nice to play the guitar and sing all night

So Dad I hope you remember me cause I wanna be like you when I leave this city

'Cause maybe dreams come true

To little boys who lose their fathers

When the Kid grew up he set to be a rockstar

Playin' with his band in honky-tonk bars

And all he could dream of was traveling the world

Because fame and money can take your head for a whirl

He said I've come a long way from old Castle Rock

Ma said it was talent but I think it was luck

It's not like I needed him there anyways

It was just a couple birthdays and I turned out okay

I heard he's some big shot now

Writing country songs for sold-out crowds

And man wouldn't it be nice to play the guitar and sing all night

So Dad I hope that you notice me when I get big and leave this city

'Cause maybe dreams come true

To little boys who lose their fathers

Kids as they do grow up in the end

And sometimes life doesn't go as planned

Then he had me a forgotten little girl

But to me my Dad was my whole world

I know you're probably busy now

Writing country songs for sold-out crowds

But man wouldn't It be nice to see you in heaven lord knows I might

But God we know you were never around and left me here broken in your old town

But maybe dreams can come true

'Cause your dreams seem to come true

I really hope dreams come true

To a girl who just lost her father
