Well it was 65 degrees and wind all around |
|
Bobby said there ain't nothing to do in this west |
|
Texas town |
|
He drove down to the liquor store just like the night before |
|
Another fifth of whiskey and he'll windup on the floor |
|
Now on the other side of town on the wrong side of the tracks |
|
Sandy Parker sits alone in her run down little shack |
|
Well her new step dad had too much to drink tonight |
|
Turns on the radio just to drown out the fight |
|
And she sings, |
|
I want to be just like the stars up on the big screen |
|
Running wild and free chasing my dreams |
|
Then I could fly away and leave this town behind |
|
Instead I'm stuck here, watching life slowly pass me by |
|
On an 80 acre farm on the outskirts of town |
|
An old farmer wipes the sweat from his brow |
|
Well theses damned old crops don't pay like they used to |
|
But it's all he knows what else is there to do |
|
And she sings, |
|
I want to be just like the stars up on the big screen |
|
Running wild and free chasing my dreams |
|
Then I could fly away and leave this town behind |
|
Instead I'm stuck here, watching life slowly pass me by |
