lyrics

We went out walking down the streets of my hometown
Me and my old good buddy, Tom
Toting our guitars, he had mine and I had his
He’d play a lick and I’d strum along

How could I ask for any more than this
How could I possibly want more
All in a dream, got my hero by my side
I’m feeling blessed and that’s for sure

He says, That ball and chain, it’s all inside your head
All a big ruse, it’s just not true
And as for the fear you feel, the thing you’ve hated most
Well that’s just the doorway leads to you

How could I ask for any more than this
How could I possibly want more
All in a dream, got my hero by my side
I’m feeling blessed and that’s for sure

You’ve done your time, he tells me, peeking through these bars
Barely a day that you’ve been free
How in the world could you be satisfied with this
You want to live, son, walk with me

And yes, you can ask for plenty more than this
Ain’t nothing wrong with wanting more
Cause right now I’m telling you that you ain’t seen nothing yet
So if you’re feeling blessed, well, that’s for sure

So what can I say to that, excepting in I believe
Believing that all he says is true
And now that I’m feeling it so deep down in my bones
Hey, I want to stand and sing with you

Yes and I’m asking for plenty more than this
In fact, you know, I want it all
Cause when I’m standing here with you right by my side
I’m feeling sixty-three feet tall
Sixty-three feet tall…
