The streets I thought would once be mine Now follow me home At the bus stop, join the line You've got to let go of the dream You wanted it all so young, so pay the price The tragedy is, you don't know what you're sacrificing And you've gotta let go of the dream Understand what I mean? It's a terrible scene And when you're walking home Will you remember what it was When you're walking home Will you remember who I was When you get back home Will you remember that it was Only rock and roll Success was just a finger's breadth away And now you wonder what you're going to do today But you've got to let go of the dream Rehabilitation seems to be For once such as I, an impossibility So I'd better let go of the dream Understand what I mean? It's a terrible scene And when you're walking home Will you remember what it was When you're walking home Will you remember who I was When you get back home Will you remember that it was Only rock and roll
