Sits alone in her driveway

Counts the lights downtown in the city

Blue, white, purple, green and red

No colors out there it's just all in her head



And she's feeling lonely again

Can't seem to find a friend

She ain't broke but she's bent

This trip has finally come to an end



Black and white she fades to gray

Nobody here to give a damn anyway

The city lights fade in the distance

Hopes and dreams shot down in an instant



Sits alone on the hood of her car

Going somewhere but it won't be far

Chasing down dreams that just aren't there

She's alone and nobody cares



'Cause she's a stranger in this town

Nobody she knows around

All she can hear is the sound

Of the cars going up and down the road that she lives on



Black and white she fades to gray

Nobody here to give a damn anyway

The city lights fade in the distance

Hopes and dreams shot down in an instant



Thirty-five and she's still all alone

Talks to her sister in Memphis on the phone

Speak of Elvis Rock 'n' Roll and the Blues

Why couldn't she walk in those blue suede shoes



Black and white she fades to gray

Nobody here to give a damn anyway

The city lights fade in the distance

Hopes and dreams shot down in an instant

Black and white she fades to gray

Nobody here to give a damn anyway

The city lights fade in the distance

Hopes and dreams shot down in an instant â?? down in an instant
