There's a burned out farmhouse down the road   Barns fallin' in and the fields over grown   "Keep Outside" on the broken fence   Passer's by say "What A Mess"   It Don't cross their mind that not long ago      That was somebody's dream, Somebody's hope   Somebody's world gone up in smoke   Aint Life a twisting turning changing machine   They Had big plans They had no doubts   But then the bottom Fell out, it fell apart at the seems   But you wouldn't know that used to be Somebody's Dream      He's 17 his thumbs in the air,    runnin away to God knows where   No One wants to pick him up,    All they See is a no good punk with torn up clothes, the cigarette and the hair      That's somebody's dream, Somebody's hope   Somebody's world gone up in smoke   Aint Life a twisting turning changing machine   His Folks had plans They had no doubts   They had his future figured out    Guess he just figured Differently   Maybe you got room in your back seat for Somebody's Dream      A Girl walks Into a Pawn shop to sell a wedding ring   Says "Since he left me Man i just don't need a thing"   She's Thinking about what happened    thinking what went wrong   Man across the counters thinking What Price tag he'll put on      That was somebody's dream, Somebody's hope   Somebody's world gone up in smoke   Aint Life a twisting turning changing machine   She had big plans She had no doubts   She had it all figured out    Guess he figured differently   Ah, But still she knows someday she'll be Somebody's Dream      Somebody's Dream   Somebody's Dream   Somebody's Dream
