Lyrics

MOTORS DON’T RUN ON DREAMS
Mike Kuhl, Kitty Steadman

It’s not the way my daddy
Would have wanted it to go.
He drove a truck his whole life
On that white lined rodeo.
He knew I wouldn’t have it
Easy out here on the road.
When I hit that blacktop runnin’
He said girl, you need to know…

The path is paved with broken hearts
And the highway can be mean.
Your miracles are miles away
And motors don’t run on dreams.

Out of high school I jumped
On a bus with a band.
To go chasin’ that spotlight
Playin’ for millions of fans.
Felt at home far away
With a six string in my hand,
And realized most people
Just don’t understand…

The path is paved with broken hearts
And the highway can be mean.
Those miracles are miles away
And motors don’t run on dreams.

My old man wasn’t kidding;
And this I’ve come to know.
But there ain’t nothin’ I’d rather do
Even though…

The path is paved with my broken heart
And the highway can be mean.
My miracles are miles away
And motors don’t run on dreams.
The path is paved with broken hearts
And the highway can be mean.
Those miracles are miles away
And motors don’t run on dreams.

It’s not the way my daddy
Would have wanted it to go.
