She couldn't wait to get out of this town
She said the simple life brought her down
She was too cool for me
And way too pretty
She couldn't deal with the small town boys
The lights and the crowds and the noise So right out of high school,
she left for
the city
But be careful with your dreams
Sometimes they're not what they seem And in life,
people can be cruel
Travel near or far And never know where you really are
Or where you're going to Or what's wrong inside you
When every day seems blue
She was walking in town With a smile that was upside down
Searching for something That we couldn't give her
You saw her standing on the bridge that night
She looked like an angel all dressed in white
Before you could stop her She was lost to the river
So be careful with your dreams Sometimes they're not what they seem
Sometimes people can be cruel
You can travel near or far
And never know where you really are Or where you're going to
Or what's wrong inside you When every day seems blue
She was walking in town With a smile that was upside down
