Dive Bar Dreamer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I turn my face towards the light
For a little While
Hoping to soak it in
Thinking maybe somehow, it’ll ignite a fire
That burned out from the constant rejection
You’re good but rejection she’s better

[Pre-Chorus]
Just keep keepin on
But if it’s alright I’d like to sing y’all a song

[Chorus]
About a dive bar dreamer in her dime store boots
She is a constant believer in always stickin’ to her roots
She spends her days writing songs that the labels don’t wanna hear
And she spends her nights playin for tips and beer
And you know her well cuz she’s standin’ right hеre
She’s a dive bar drеamer-er-er-er
A dive bar dreamer-----er-er

[Verse 2]
I tell myself it’s all gonna be alright
Rome wasn’t built in a day
You knew what was coming when you chose this life
A lot of hurry up and wait
But I promise that your time is coming
[Pre-Chorus]
Just keep keepin on
Until then I’m gonna sing y’all this song

[Chorus]
About a dive bar dreamer in her dime store boots
She is a constant believer in always stickin’ to her roots
She spends her days writing songs that the labels don’t wanna hear
And she spends her nights playin for tips and beer

[Bridge]
She’ll rise
Like the smoke in the neon lights
She’ll rise
Like every glass in the air tonight
She’ll rise
Rise above all her doubts and fears tonight
She’ll rise, I will rise

[Chorus]
Cuz I’m a dive bar dreamer in my dime store boots
I am a constant believer in always stickin’ to my roots
I’ll spend my days writing songs that the labels don’t wanna hear
And I spend my nights playin’ for tips and beer
But I’m living my dream as sure as I stand here
[Outro]
Cuz I’m a dive bar dreamer-er-er-er
I’m a dive bar dreamer----er-er
I’m a dive bar dreamer

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
