Stress Dreams

04 That Home Far Away

“Chasing Life’s Dreams” is a foot-tapping bluegrass journey down the backroads of hope and heart. With mandolin, banjo, and fiddle driving the rhythm, this song celebrates the joy of chasing what matters most — even when the road gets dusty and the map fades with time.

It’s a story about the miles behind us, the faith ahead, and the music that keeps our spirits rolling.  Whether you’re driving home at sunset or dancing on the porch, this tune reminds us that every detour can still lead to something beautiful.
