Fallen Angel

                                  She stepped off the bus out into the city streets

Just a small town girl with her whole life

Packed in a suitcase by her feet

But somehow the lights didn't shine as 

Bright as they did

On her mama's TV screen

And the work seemed harder 

And the days seemed longer

Than she ever thought they'd be



But you know you got to stick to your guns

When it all comes down

Cause sometimes you can't choose

It's like heads they win

Tail you're gonna lose



[Chorus]

Win big, mama's fallen angel

Lose big, livin' out her lies

Wants it all, mama's fallen angel

Lose it all, rollin' the dice of her life



Now she found herself in the fast lane

Livin' day to day

Turned her back on her best friends, yeah

And watched her family slip away

Just like a lost soul

Caught up in the Hollywood scene

All the parties and limousines



Such a good actress

Hiding all her pain

Trading in memories for fortune and fame

Just a step away from the edge of the fall

Caught between Heaven and Hell

Where's the girl I knew a year ago



[Chorus]



Too much too soon

Or just a little too late

'Cause when her ship came in

She wasn't there and it just wouldn't wait



[Chorus]
