Dream On - Aerosmith The Midnight Special



Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
Oh, it went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay, oh, oh, oh
I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life's in books' written pages
Storing facts learned from fools and from sages
You view the earth
Oh, sing with me, this mournful dub
Sing with me, sing for a year
Sing for the laughter, and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Oh, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, and sing for the tear
Sing it with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Dream on
Dream on
I dream on
Dream a little, I'll dream on
Dream on
I dream on
I dream on
Dream a little, I'll dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
I'll dream on
Dream on
Dream on
I dream on

a portable cassette recorder. They were just hitting the market and not many people had them. My parents picked it up a radio shack if I remember correctly. They also let him buy his first cassette. It was Aerosmith's dream on. We played the hell out of it. Later when I was in high-school (we had electrical circuit and electronics classes, I hand wired a voltage converter to power the portable cassette player in his Mustang and tied the audio into the speakers with a Radio Shack amplifier kit. I became an electronics geek early. The Columbia House cassette deals became a thing and we ordered a bunch of cassettes. We blasted some great tunes. We lived in Massachusetts and J Geils was big. We had BTO, Steve Miller, Springsteen, Boston?, The Eagles..
