Sarah lost her way
Somewhere in the lights on lake. 
Now its much too late
She's cruising down the interstate

Bobby's holding a dream
His heart ripped at the seam
He ain't coming back
Drifting down that lonely track

Oh if I could whisper
I'd say please don't forget

Beauty queens and magazines
Living off the high school scene
Oh way oh we sing
Broken down in the machine
Dead and gone by seventeen
Oh way oh we sing

Sarah's down the road
Nowhere feels like home
She's getting close
To losing that heart of gold

Bobby's seeing stars
On the Hollywood Boulevard
But he lost his heart
At the edge of another bar

Oh if I could whisper
I'd say please don't forget

Beauty queens and magazines
Living off the high school scene
Oh way oh we sing
Broken down in the machine
Dead and gone by seventeen
Oh way oh we sing
