G              C9 
Well it was 65 degrees and wind all around 
G                                            C9 
Bobby said there ain't nothing to do in this west Texas town 
D                                      C9 
He drove down to the liquor store just like the night before 
D                                   C9       G 
Another fifth of whisky and he'll windup on the floor  
 
Now on the other side of town on the wrong side of the tracks 

Sandy Parker sits alone in her run down little shack 

Well her new step dad had too much to drink tonight 

Turns on the radio just to drown out the fight 
 
Refrão -------------
        Em               D                C  
And she sings, I want to be just like the stars up on the big screen 
Em      C             D 
Running wild and free chasing my dreams 
Em           D            C 
Then I could fly away and leave this town behind 
Am                              D                   G 
Instead I'm stuck her, watching life slowly pass me by
--------------------
On an 80 acre farm on the outskirts of town 

An old farmer wipes the sweat from his brow 

Well theses damned old crops don't pay like they used to 

But it's all he knows what else is there to do
