Somebody's Dream

Written：Casey Beathard/Michael Heeney

There's a burned out farm house down the road

Barn's fallin' in, field's over grown

Keep out signs on a broken fence, passers by say "what a mess"

It don't cross their mind that not long ago, that was

(chorus)

Somebody's dream, somebody's hope

Somebody's world, gone up in smoke

Ain't 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 seams

You wouldn't know that it used to be

Somebody's dream

He's seventeen his thumbs in the air

Running away to god knows where

And no one wants to pick him up, all they see's a no good punk

The tore up clothes, the cigarette, the hair, ah but that's

(chorus)

Somebody's dream, somebody's hope

Somebody's world, gone up in smoke

Ain't life a twisting, turning, changing, machine

His folks had plans, they had no doubts, had his future figured out

Guess he just figured differently

Hey maybe you got room in your backseat

For somebody's dream

(bridge)

Girl walks in the pawn shop to sell her wedding ring

Says "since he left man it don't mean a thing"

She's thinkin' about what happened, thinking what went wrong

Man across the counters thinkin' what price tag he'll put on

(chorus)

Somebody's dream, somebody's hope

Somebody's world, gone up in smoke

Ain't life a twisting, turning, changing machine

She had made plans, had no doubts, she had it figured out

Guess he figured differently

But still she knows someday she'll be

Somebody's dream
