Original Elvis Presley version
(Follow that dream, I gotta follow)
(Keep moving, move along, keep moving)
I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I've got to follow that dream to find the love I need
When your heart gets restless, time to move along
When your heart gets weary, time to sing a song
But when a dream is calling you
There's just one thing that you can do
Well you gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
You gotta follow that dream to find the love you need
(Keep moving, move along, keep moving)
Got to find me someone whose heart is free
Someone to look for my dream with me
And when I find her, I may find out
Just what my dreams are all about
I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I've got to follow that dream to find the love I need
I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I've got to follow that dream to find the love I need
(Keep moving, move along)
(Keep moving, move along)
(Keep moving, move along)
(Keep moving...) [fade out]
FOLLOW THAT DREAM is a song written by Fred Wise and Ben Weisman and originally released by Elvis Presley on his 1962 extended play record Follow That Dream. This is a soundtrack EP issued to coincide with the release of the movie Follow That Dream in which Presley stars. The above lyrics are for the original Elvis Presley version of FOLLOW THAT DREAM as released in 1962.
For his version, Bruce Springsteen changed some of the lyrics to Presley's FOLLOW THAT DREAM and completely rearranged the song. Originally faster, he slowed it down giving it a dramatic pace. He recorded it demos of the song in 1983 and he performed it live throughout his career starting from 1981. See Springsteen's studio version 1 for more details.
