People In The Way Lyrics - Peddlin' Dreams - Maria Mckee

It's a shame about your sister 

She looks older than God 

I guess the prom king missed her 

And she gave up the cause 

It's a pain to remember 

But a strain to forget 

Should've gone on a bender 

Gotten out of my head 

Ma, tell your kids every day 

We're all just people in the way 

Hey, you're looking me over 

Do I still make a splash? 

Did the intrepid rover 

Bottom out with panache? 

And the keys to the city 

Were my ticket outside 

And I used to dream pretty 

Now, I dream I'm alive 

Ma, tell your kids every day 

We're all just people in the way 

And I don't know what to tell you 

'Cause I don't know what I believe 

I've been beaten down and pimped around 

And told so many things 

And I'm deafened by the dark 

And the cryin' of my face 

I'm looking for a day job 

In a town that wished me fame 

Gather 'round little dreamers 

Hey, wherever you are 

You were a wink in a streamer 

Of a party of stars 

When I banked it on lucky 

And he banked it on me 

Then you don't have to trust me 

You're gonna be what you'll be 

Ma, tell your kids every day 

We're all just people in the way 

Out of place and in the way
