| She got on a plane
|
| Took off bound for Santa Fe
|
| Touched down on the edge of another world
|
| Made a few mistakes
|
| And it’s kind of hard to fuck the pain away
|
| Hooked on amphetamine and pearls
|
| Hey she drove off into the sunset
|
| Drinkin' pinot, singin' 'Livin on a Prayer'
|
| Hey when all her childhood dreams get put to rest
|
| Maybe in another life she’ll get somewhere
|
| But in the end we all burn out like cigarettes
|
| Captain on the team
|
| Quarterback on the varsity
|
| Crowd goes wild he throws a touchdown
|
| But graduation came
|
| He lost his number but he kept his name now he’s
|
| Pumpin' gas at the Texaco downtown
|
| Hey he drove off into the sunset
|
| Drinking Bud Light, singin 'Livin on a Prayer'
|
| Hey when all his childhood dreams get put to rest
|
| Maybe in another life he’ll get somewhere
|
| But in the end we all burn out like cigarettes
|
| Now I’m singing a song for you
|
| About a childhood dream that won’t come true
|
| But I’m somewhere out in the Midwest chasin' mine
|
| So if you’re feelin' blue
|
| I’ll light up a match for you
|
| And we’ll send the world up in smoke tonight |
| Hey we’ll drive off into the sunset
|
| Drinkin' whiskey singin' 'Livin' on a Prayer'
|
| Hey when all of our childhood dreams get put to rest
|
| Maybe in another life we’ll get somewhere
|
| But in the end we all burn out like cigarettes
|
| In the end we all burn out like cigarettes
|
| In the end we all burn out like a cigarette |
