Her momma's still got that sequin gown that she wore in '68
She taught her early how to smile that smile and wave from the parade
It took a whole lot of years and tears for her momma to finally admit
No matter how many stiches and pins that old dress was never gonna fit
She was daddy's little girl momma's little angel
Teacher's pet pageant queen
She said all my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me
Waking up in someone else's dream
[ instrumental ]
Her daddy used to say you'll make a lovely bride someday
He'll ride up on a big white horse and just carry you away
It took twenty-five years and some broken vows before they'd finally see
There's a little more to love and life than fairy tales and hand me down dreams
She was daddy's little girl momma's little angel...
[ instrumental ]
Now she's got twenty-seven candles on her cake
And she means to make her life her own before there's twenty-eight
She was daddy's little girl momma's little angel...
She was daddy's little girl momma's little angel...
Oh in someone else's dream

Hey baby let's go to Vegas kiss the single life goodbye
Hey baby let's go to Vegas bet on love and let it ride
Lying on the bank of the river stars are dancin' Lord it's hot
Holdin' you is what I live for I just had a crazy thought
Hey baby let's go to Vegas kiss the single life goodbye...
We'll find a little wedding chapel a pair of rings and a preacher too
Underneath the neon steeple we'll take a gamble and say I do
Hey baby let's go to Vegas kiss the single life goodbye...
Viva Las Vegas sparkling lights dangerous living tumblin' dice
You're my ace in the hole now honey and I'm your lady luck
Pack a few things and a little money and put 'em in the truck
Hey baby let's go to Vegas kiss the single life goodbye...
[ instrumental ]
Viva Las Vegas sparkling lights dangerous living tumblin' dice...
Hey baby let's go to Vegas kiss the single life goodbye...
Hey baby let's go to Vegas kiss the single life goodbye...
Bet on love and let it ride bet on love and let it ride

Baby tell me where'd you ever learn to fight without sayin' a word
Then waltz back into my life like it's all gonna be alright
Don't you know how much it hurts
When we don't talk when we don't touch
When it doesn't feel like we're even in love it matters to me
When I don't know what to say don't know what to do
Don't know if it really even matters to you
How can I make you see it matters to me
Maybe I still don't understand the distance between a woman and a man
So tell me how far it is and how you can love like this cause I'm not sure I can
When we don't talk when we don't touch
When it doesn't feel like we're even in love
When I don't know what to say don't know what to do...
[ instrumental ]
When I don't know what to say don't know what to do...
Oh it matters to me it matters to me

There's something bout you manner that makes it hard to see
Just how you take advantage of a working girl like me
I've seen you set 'em up and I've seen you take 'em down
Our love is legal tender for your kind to pass around
Don't want your bed of roses don't want no handful of thorns
Don't want to be your livin' doll don't want to be no woman scorned
Well I don't want to watch you turn the page when our chapter closes
No I'm not gonna lay me down in your bed of roses
I've tasted good and bad love in the honky tonks and bars
I've settled for the moon when I was reachin' for the stars
And though sometimes I have stumbled I've been known to fall
It was always true love that took me to the wall
Don't want your bed of roses don't want no handful of thorns...
(Girl you better hide your love away girl you better save it for another day)
[ instrumental ]
Don't want your bed of roses don't want no handful of thorns...

Linda works in the diner pourin' coffee slingin' hash
She said I wouldn't have come in today but I really need the cash
I know I can't fool anyone cause dark glasses tell no lies
But make-up won't cover up a blackened eye oh no
You see Jimmy works construction now but yesterday it rained
So he went down to the liquor store and by noon he felt no pain
I came in an hour late then I let his supper burn
Well he hit the roof hit the wall and then it was my turn
He said a man's home is his castle
It always has been and so it remains
But he holds the keys in a fist of rage
His home is his castle and mine is a cage
Someone must have heard the noise and they dialed 9-1-1
And the cop who showed up at the door asked is there a problem son
Jimmy smiled and said no sir just a little fight that's all
Hey you know how it gets sometimes when you're layin' down the law oh no
So I pulled out my suitcase I started packin' up my clothes
And Jimmy said now Linda where do you expect to go with those
I told him I have tried but not an ounce of love survives
Well he grabbed my wrist and shouted you're not leavin' here alive
She said I'm savin' up my money and when I get the nerve I'll run
But Jim don't give up easily so I intend to buy a gun
He will never see the way he treats me is a crime
Somebody oughta lock him up but I'm the one who's done the time
He said a man's home is his castle...

A little girl a little small for her age a little too slow for the field day race
Momma's waiting at the finish line and wipes the teardrops from her eyes
She says you did just fine honey that's okay sometimes life's just that way
You're gonna lose the race from time to time but you're always gonna find
You can't lose me bet your life
I am here and I will always be just a wish away
Wherever you go no matter how far my love is where you are
You won't be lost if you believe you can't lose me
Momma used to say girl it won't be long til it's time to go out on your own
Chase your dreams find your place in life I know you'll do just fine
When that day finally came there were things she needed to but could not say
So I whispered softly as I wiped the tears from momma's eyes
You can't lose me bet your life...
[ instrumental ]
Wherever you go no matter how far my love is where you are
You won't be lost if you believe you can't lose me

Cut my hair the way you wanted watched you become important
Quit my job to make our new home far away
Now you're Mr Successful and I'm queen of the treadmill
Tryin' to stay the size you think that I should stay
I used to dream about what I would be
Last night I dreamed about a washing machine
I keep on giving but I can't stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings I don't like depending
I keep right on pretending but I can't do that anymore
[ instrumental ]
Now you say I'm being silly but you don't know me really
You never take the time to ask me how I feel
I keep the check book balanced I decorate your palace
You know I used to think that you were king
Somewhere down deep I know you really love me
But you can't see that what we have's not all I need
I keep on giving but I can't stop living...
You try to tell me I'm not being fair to you
But life's too short for a selfish attitude
[ guitar ]
I keep on giving but I can't stop living...
I can't do that anymore

My heart was once just like a home with many rooms and open doors
And I always let love in it would change the rooms around and then leave them empty
Till one by one I locked each door and soon forgot what love was for
But I never gave up hopin' so I left just one door open in case you found me
So there's a room in my heart for you if your trust has been stolen too
If you walk softly on this worn out wooden floor
And leave behind you the hurt you've had before
There's a room in my heart for you
We'll paint the walls from blue to white
And set the mood by candlelight
Together we'll keep out the cold
And I'll still be there when we're old if you'll let me
So there's a room in my heart for you if your trust has been stolen too...
Just leave behind you the hurt you've had before
There's a room in my heart for you

Heads I win tails you lose I always play by my own rules
And I don't believe in wasting time so long before we end this night
I will have held you I will have kissed you
I will have claimed you you will be mine
I will have loved you wrong or right
I will have your heart you will be mine
An unwritten law says a girl should wait should let the man set his own pace
But a woman in love she's above the law so long before this night is gone
I will have held you I will have kissed you...
[ instrumental ]
I will have your heart you will be mine you top my list of things to do
And I will get close to you before this night is through
I will have held you I will have kissed you...
I will have held you I will have kissed you...

Well in this world of sorrow trouble and temptation
Yeah Jesus always promised trial and tribulation
He said you don't have to fret or fear children be of good cheer and keep walkin' on
Chidren keep walkin' on keep walkin' on yeah keep walkin' on
In Jesus Christ the truth is found he'll keep your feet on solid ground
Sometimes we have to just believe yeah he put it in the book for us to read
Satan you can't fool this girl my Lord overcame this world
Keep walkin' on hey keep walkin' on hey keep walkin' on hey keep walkin' on hey hey hey
[ instrumental ]
Well Jesus walked on the water Peter walked on it too
God gave you the power to do what you cannot do
Every road we travel he's traveled down before
There ain't no need to worry where it leads to anymore
I'm walkin' on I'm walkin' on I'm walkin' on I'm walkin' on
Well the road is narrow and it's straight but it leads right up to the Golden Gate
It may be rough it may be long but I don't have to walk alone
Step by step and day by day he takes my hand and I hear him say
Keep walkin' on keep walkin' on keep walkin' on keep walkin' on
What you gonna do can't pay that rent
Yeah what you gonna do when the money's spent
What you gonna do when you just can't cope
Hey what you gonna do when you're outta hope
Keep walkin' on keep walkin' on keep walkin' on keep walkin' on...
