She looks out towards the edge of town
trying to decide which way to go
there's the road that she's been down
there's the road she doesn't know
She goes to work at the small cafe
like every morning five till two
serving strangers scrambled eggs
she pours their morning brew
but she's tired of being alone
haunted by the ghost
of the love she left behind
somewhere down the line
When she was young she came to Tennessee
with a heartbreak and a song
well the years they've come and gone
and she still sings Delta Dawn
Every night in a little bar
another dark and smoky room
she plays away her pain
she sings her lonely tune
it's been hard out on her own
the nights get long and cold
when there's someone on her mind
and he's somewhere down the line
Ooo she's been waiting
somewhere down the line
Ooo she's still waiting
somewhere down the line
long ago
far away
there was a boy who wouldn't wait
for the girl with her dream
now she knows that it's too late
but still she wonders if he knows
that he's been on her mind
somewhere down the line
I stumbled in a couple months ago
with a heartbreak and a song
I was barely holding on
to my coffee before dawn
Now every night in a little bar
beneath the neon moon
I play away my pain
while she sings her lonely tune
Two hearts that found a home
doing what they know
tired of wasting time
somewhere down the line
somewhere down the line
somewhere down the line
somewhere down the line.
