The spark for this song originally came from the title of the final episode of the TV series Friday Night Lights. The finale’s title was “Watching a Dream Come True,” and Asbury thought of the twist on words with “Watching a Dream I Never Had Come True.”
“When little boys are growing up, their daydreams aren’t filled with babies and raising families,” shares Cory Asbury. “No, they’re dreaming about playing baseball, becoming an astronaut, a firefighter, or something cool like that. Then, as they get older, meet a good woman, and settle down a little bit, they find themselves living a dream they never had as little kids. And to their surprise, it’s more glorious and fulfilling than any major league home run could ever be.”
