Joni's Dream
Joni wasn't meant for Calhoun, Georgia
It was plain as the nose on your face
Some people said she got above her raisin'
But those who know her say it's not that way
(Chorus)
Joni had a dream as big as Dallas
She should be in New York City, Nashville or L.A.
Joni loved this town but but couldn't hang around
Joni's dream kept calling her away
Joni wasn't meant for Calhoun, Georgia
Though the roots of her raisin' were strong
Those bright city lights shined like precious diamonds
A lighthouse leading her on
(Repeat Chorus)
(Dobro Inst.)
Joni said goodbye to Calhoun, Georgia
As she climbed on that silver Greyhound
Half of Calhoun said goodbye at the station
She was livin' out the dream and stardom bound
(Repeat Chorus)
