Somebody's Dream

There's a burned out farmhouse down the road
Barns fallin' in and the fields over grown
"Keep Outside" on the broken fence
Passer's 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
Aint Life a twisting turning changing machine
They Had big plans They had no doubts
But then the bottom Fell out, it fell apart at the seems
But you wouldn't know that used to be Somebody's Dream

He's 17 his thumbs in the air,
runnin away to God knows where
No One wants to pick him up,
All they See is a no good punk with torn up clothes, the cigarette and the hair

That's somebody's dream, Somebody's hope
Somebody's world gone up in smoke
Aint Life a twisting turning changing machine
His Folks had plans They had no doubts

They had his future figured out

Guess he just figured Differently
Maybe you got room in your back seat for Somebody's Dream

A Girl walks Into a Pawn shop to sell a wedding ring
Says "Since he left me Man i just don't need a thing"
She's Thinking about what happened
thinking what went wrong
Man across the counters thinking What Price tag he'll put on

That was somebody's dream, Somebody's hope
Somebody's world gone up in smoke
Aint Life a twisting turning changing 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
