Mac McAnally - Desiree lyrics

They said she was crazy They said she beat all they'd ever seen Just a baby when she was only seventeen They say that she walked away from money And she ran away from home Out of the grasp of those that loved her Into the arms of the unknown And Desiree Bet she never gets to Chicago, people on the corner say And Desiree Bet she never gets what she wanted anyway Desiree They talk about you, Desiree She was a dreamer and they had her whole life prearranged And what she was dreaming one little town could not contain She never minded people talking Some people need their small town games She ruined her family's happy ending And she put a mark on a good name Desiree Bet she never gets to Chicago, she'll be coming back one day Desiree Bet she never gets what she wanted anyway Desiree They're talking about you, Desiree And Desiree Who would they talk about by now But Desiree Who would they talk above you now But Desiree
