SOMEBODY'S DAUGHTER
In an all night Truckers Cafe on Route 66
Halfway to Hollywood where she was headed years ago
Somebody's Daughter swaps jokes with all night truckers
Miss Lincoln County 99 with nothing left to show
(Chorus)
Broken dreams and broken lives
Some say it comes as no surprise
Somebody's daughter's at the end of her line
But for the grace of God it's true
She could be me she could be you
Somebody's daughterwitherson the vine
(INST)
She sings on Lower Broadwaythree nights a week for "Tips"
One among the many casting dreams before the crowd
Somebody's daughter thinks that no one is listening
A prisoner of her dreams and haunted by her doubts
(Chorus)
Broken dreams and broken lives
Some say it comes as no surprise
Somebody's daughter's at the end of her line
But for the grace of God it's true
She could be me she could be you
Somebody's daughter withers on the vine
(Bridge)
If you look close they say you'll find a story
Nothing's quite as simple as it seems
Everyone is someone's son or daughter
Sometimes on the wrong side of their dream
(Chorus)
Broken dreams and broken lives
Some say it comes as no surprise
Somebody's daughter's at the end of her line
But for the grace of God it's true
She could be me she could be you
Somebody's daughter withers on the vine
Somebody's daughter's on the wrong side of her dream
Somebody's Daughter .... Somebody's Daughter
