Silver Mailbox
A gravel road and a silver mailbox
Second generation living out on rural route one
That's the dream she had and the one I couldn't give her
I didn't know how to walk away so my only choice was run
Underneath the stars out in Oklahoma
Dreams are born some to live and some to die
You know mine came true but tonight I'm wishing
Hearts weren't torn apart when dreams collide
The marquee lights tell all the story
Tonight my name flashes off and on for all the world to see
The price is high to paint your name in glory
It costs me a silver mailbox that's the way it had to be
Underneath the stars dreams are born
If they come true you don't complain
Out on rural route one there's a silver mailbox
Where she shares someone else's name
Underneath the stars there's a silver mailbox
