One Same Dream

[Verse 1]
Hand-me-down boots by the back door
One pair hers
One pair mine
We circled the fairs on the county map
Drew little stars in red pen lines
She said, "We’ll stand on that stage someday"
Cheap hairbrush in her hand as a mic
Two sisters sharing the same wild wish
Singing off-key under porch light

[Chorus]
We got the same old dream in our hearts
Same old song in our bones
Side by side in this beat-up truck
Chasing down those gravel roads
If I’m the voice, you’re the harmony
You’re the courage when I’m scared to be seen
Hand in hand, girl, we’re a small-town team
Two sisters
One same dream

[Verse 2]
Late nights down at the diner
Aprons on
Tips in a jar
Counting out dollars and coffee-stained quarters
Talking ‘bout going far
You packed my bag, pinned up my hair
Said, "Go sing, I’ll run the stand"
You booked the gig, made the calls, drove the miles
One steering wheel, four helping hands

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Remember that bar off the highway?
Three drunk folks
One flickering sign
You smiled at me from the back of the room
Like the crowd was a mile-long line
If the world turns cold
If the lights go dim
[low vocal register] I’ll sing the low, you take the high
We rise and fall together again

[Chorus]
