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
