Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife Lyrics - Roy Drusky

She looks in the mirror and stares at the wrinkles that weren't there yesterday 

And thinks of the young man that she almost married 

What would he think if he saw her this way 

She holds up her apron in little girl fashion as something comes into her mind 

Then slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood 

And all of the boys she had waiting in line 

Ah such are the dreams of the everyday housewife 

You see everywhere anytime of the day 

Like the everyday housewife that gave up the good time for me 

[ ac.guitar ] 

The photograph album she takes from the closet and slowly turns the first page 

And carefully picks up the crumbling flower 

The first one he gave her now withered with age 

She closes her eyes and touches the housedress that suddenly disappears 

And just for a moment she's wearing the gown 

That broke all their minds back so many years 

Ah such are the dreams...
