When the sand of times start to blow her away
She would tend to nev'r see a thing
And she gave up on Holland Road
With too heavy to carry... a weary soul
So pardon me... didn't mean to waste your time
Music's playin and dinner's on the table by nine
But if you go... you should know
A baby don't wait... no... if she cries
And Momma don't drive real straight with tears in her eyes
When you're dreamin... she's mendin teenage hearts and torn jeans
Yeah, she's livin' on Broke Down Dreams
She can sing and dance like mornin' ray
I'd see it in my Grandma's frames
And she gave birth to a gift on a summer day
And two more to follow, eight years away
So pardon me... didn't mean to waste your time
The music's playin and dinner's on the table by nine
But if you go... you should know
Baby don't rest... when she cries
And Momma don't drive real straight with tears in her eyes
When you're dreamin...
She's mendin teenage hearts and torn jeans
Yeah she's livin on... Broke Down Dreams
{Fiddle interlude}
Baby don't wait... no, when she cries
Momma don't drive real straight with tears in her eyes
When you're dreamin...
She's mendin teenage hearts and torn jeans
Yeah, she's livin on... Broke Down Dreams
Yeah, she's livin on... Broke Down Dreams
Yeah, she's livin on... Broke Down Dreams
Yeah, she's livin on... Broke Down Dreams
