65 degrees

well it was 65 degrees and wind all around

bobby said there ain't nothing to do in this west texas town

he drove down to the liquor store just like the night before

another fifth of whiskey and he'll windup on the floor

now on the other side of town on the wrong side of the tracks

sandy parker sits alone in her run down little shack

well her new step dad had too much to drink tonight

turns on the radio just to drown out the fight

and she sings

i want to be just like the stars up on the big screen

running wild and free chasing my dreams

then i could fly away and leave this town behind

instead i'm stuck here

watching life slowly pass me by

on an 80 acre farm on the outskirts of town

an old farmer wipes the sweat from his brow

well theses damned old crops don't pay like they used to

but it's all he knows what else is there to do

and she sings

i want to be just like the stars up on the big screen

running wild and free chasing my dreams

then i could fly away and leave this town behind

instead i'm stuck here

watching life slowly pass me by
