I FOUND A BOOK
THAT MY MAMA KEPT
FILLED WITH SECRETS
SHE HID
AND IN A DUSTY OLD
ATTIC
ONE MORNIN' I READ
ABOUT A WOMAN
I NEVER MET
WHO HAD DREAMS
JUST LIKE MINE
WITH EVERY PAGE
THAT I TURNED
THE WORDS CAME ALIVE
WISH I COULD ROLL
OUT OF TOWN
LIKE A RUNAWAY TRAIN
I'LL DO AS I DARE
LET THEM CALL ME
INSANE
NEVER SIT ON
THE SIDELINES OF LIFE
I'D DANCE EVERY DANCE
IF I JUST HAD
THE CHANCE
4 BAR
BREAK
A TEAR FELL ON THAT
FADED PAGE
'CAUSE THIS WAS
SOMEBODY ELSE
NOT THE MAMA I KNEW
WHO NEVER THOUGHT OF
HERSELF
BUT THE TIMES
THEY WERE DIFFERENT
THEN
AND LINES JUST DIDN'T
GET CROSSED
AND THESE WORDS
THAT SHE WROTE
THEY SOMEHOW GOT
LOST
WISH I COULD ROLL
OUT OF TOWN
LIKE A RUNAWAY TRAIN
I'LL DO AS I DARE
LET THEM CALL ME
INSANE
NEVER SIT ON
THE SIDELINES OF LIFE
I'D DANCE EVERY DANCE
IF I JUST HAD
THE CHANCE
16 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
THE CHANCE THAT SHE
NEVER HAD
IS NOW THE GIFT
THAT IS MINE
AND OUT HERE
ON THIS ROAD
I'M MAKIN' UP FOR LOST
TIME
YEAH I AM
MY MOTHER'S CHILD
AND TONIGHT IN THIS CAR
I GOT HER WORDS
IN MY SUITCASE
AND HER DREAMS
IN MY HEART
AS I ROLL OUT OF TOWN
LIKE A RUNAWAY TRAIN
I'LL DO AS I DARE
LET THEM CALL ME
INSANE
NEVER SIT ON
THE SIDELINES OF LIFE
I'LL DANCE EVERY DANCE
WHILE I STILL HAVE
THE CHANCE
I'LL NEVER SIT ON
THE SIDELINES OF LIFE
I'LL DANCE EVERY DANCE
WHILE I STILL HAVE
THE CHANCE
