Cain's Ballroom Dream

You are where it all began
Boys were lined up at your door
To take their turn with you around that hardwood floor
You're always shining bright, like a beacon in the night
In my wildest dreams I could not ask for more

How I long to be, standing with your lights
Shining down on me before I die
You were meant for me
As cliche' as it seems
You're the star of all my Cain's ballroom dreams

Playboys from the lone star state
The troubadours were worth the wait
To get into that ballroom down on main
But now I'm sitting on the sidelines
No one here is hearing my lines
Because I still haven't made it to your stage

How I long to be, standing with your lights
Shining down on me before I die
You were meant for me
As cliche' as it seems
You're the star of all my Cain's ballroom dreams

You came to me in a dream
Said write a song for me
With a melody that gets stuck in their heads
No more sitting on the sidelines
Now they'll sing along to my lines
In a song no one ever will forget

Here I am tonight, standing with your lights
Shining down on me so big and bright
You were meant for me
As cliche' as it seems
You're the star of all my Cain's ballroom dream
And I don't want to wake from this Cain's ballroom dream
