Somebody's Dream Lyrics - Tracy Byrd

There's a burned out farmhouse down the road 

Barn's fallin' in, field's over grown 

Keep out sign on a broken fence, passers 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 

Ain't 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 seams 

And you wouldn't know that used to be somebody's dream 

He's seventeen his thumbs in the air 

Running away to God knows where 

And no one wants to pick him up, all they see's a no good punk 

The tore up clothes, the cigarette, the hair 

Ah, but that's somebody's dream, somebody's hope 

Somebody's world, gone up in smoke 

Ain't 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 

And maybe you got room in your backseat for somebody's dream 

A girl walks into a pawn shop to sell her wedding ring 

Says, "Since he left, man it just don't mean a thing" 

She's thinkin' about what happened, thinking what went wrong 

The man across the counter's thinkin' what price tag he'll put on 

Somebody's dream, somebody's hope 

Somebody's world, gone up in smoke 

Ain't life a twisting, turning, changing machine 

She had big plans, she had no doubts 

She had it all figured out, guess he figured differently 

Oh, but still she knows someday she'll be somebody's dream 

Somebody's dream, somebody's dream 

Somebody's dream, somebody's dream
