Somebody's Dream

Somebody's Dream Lyrics

(Michael P. Heeney - Casey Beathard)

There's a burned out farmhouse down the road
Barns fallin' in and the fields over grown
Keep outside on the broken fence
Oasser'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
Ain't life a twistin'm turnin', changin' 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.

--- Instrumental ---

He's seventeen his thumbs 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
Aint 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 pawnshop 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
Aint 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.)...
