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]
