Somebody's Dream

歌詞

There's a burned out farmhouse down the road Barns fallin' in and the field's overgrown "Keep Outside" on the broken fence Passers-by say, "What a mess" It don't cross their mind that not long ago That was somebody's dream, somebody's hope Somebody's world gone up in smoke Ain't life a twistin', turnin', changin' machine They had big plans, they had no doubts But then the bottom fell out It fell apart at the seams But you wouldn't know that used to be somebody's dream. He's seventeen, his thumb's in the air Runnin' away to God-knows-where No one wants to pick him up All they see's a no good punk. With torn up clothes, the cigarette and the hair Oh but that's somebody's dream, somebody's hope Somebody's world gone up in smoke Ain't life a twistin', turnin', changin' machine His folks, had plans, they had no doubts They had his future figured out Guess he just figured differently And maybe you got room in your back seat for somebody's dream. A girl walks into a pawn shop to sell a weddin' ring Says, "Since he left me, man, I just don't need a thing" She's thinkin' about what happened, thinkin' what went wrong Man across the counters thinkin' what price tag he'll put on. That was somebody's dream, somebody's hope Somebody's world gone up in smoke Ain't life a twistin', turnin', changin' machine She had big plans, she had no doubts She had it all figured out Guess he figured differently Ah, but still she knows someday she'll be somebody's dream. Somebody's dream, somebody's dream Somebody's dream (somebody's dream.)...
