Momma`s dream when she was barely sixteen. Wasn`t to run the till at dairy queen. She always knew if her wishes came true. She`d be singing on the opry stage with who`s who.
We've been here before. I know it's getting late. But we can't walk away. . We walk around this room. So angry and upset. There ain't no giving in. . Tell me what you feel.
Blue skies, tall palm trees. flippin through pages of magazines. workin at the counter at, walgreens. . dreamin`, waitin. pinchin the pennies on minimum wage.
Tell my heart, to stop beating. Tell my mind not to think. Throw a stone. In the ocean. And tell that stone not to sink. . Tell the world to stop turning around.
Dad says he`ll miss his daughter. He give me a hug and a quarter. So proud lookin` forward to knowin`. Says give him a call when i get where i`m goin`.
If you were the sunshine. I would stand in the rain. If you were a long day. I would sleep it away. If you were a love song. I'd hate to sing it. If you were the truth.

Where the Murry meets the Darling. lies a sleepy border town. The grapevines were in season laden to. the ground. On the gate a rusty sign pickers apply within.
