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'D NEVER MET
WHO HAD DREAMS
JUST LIKE MINE
WITH EVERY PAGE
THAT I TURNED
THE WORDS CAME ALIVE
WISH I COULD
ROLL OUTTA TOWN
LIKE A RUNAWAY TRAIN
I'D 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
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 OUTTA TOWN
LIKE A RUNAWAY TRAIN
I'D DO AS I DARE
LET THEM
CALL ME INSANE
NEVER SIT ON
THE SIDELINES OF LIFE
I'D DANCE EVERY DANCE
IF I JUST HAVE
THE CHANCE
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 OUTTA 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
