Keep out sign on a broken fence, passers by say, "What a mess!"
She had it all figured out, guess he figured differently
But then the bottom fell out, it fell apart at the seams
She's thinkin' about what happened, thinking what went wrong
They had his future figured out, guess he just figured differently
The man across the counter's thinkin' what price tag he'll put on
Somebody's world, gone up in smoke
Somebody's world, gone up in smoke
Somebody's dream, somebody's hope
Oh, but still she knows someday she'll be somebody's dream
The tore up clothes, the cigarette, the hair
It don't cross their mind that not long ago, that was
And maybe you got room in your backseat for somebody's dream
Ain't life a twisting, turning, changing machine
Somebody's dream, somebody's hope
She had big plans, she had no doubts
They had big plans, they had no doubts
Running away to God knows where
Ah, but that's somebody's dream, somebody's hope
His folks had plans, they had no doubts
Ain't life a twisting, turning, changing machine
Somebody's dream, somebody's dream
And no one wants to pick him up, all they see's a no good punk
Somebody's world, gone up in smoke
And you wouldn't know that used to be somebody's dream
Ain't life a twisting, turning, changing machine
Says, "Since he left, man it just don't mean a thing"
He's seventeen his thumbs in the air
A girl walks into a pawn shop to sell her wedding ring
