She used to sit down by the highway
And watch all the cars going by
And hang out down at the pool hall
And listen to the old men tell lies
They'd fill her head full of stories
About places and things that they had seen
She'd tell her friends about all her plans
Now she's a kid full of dreams
Small towns can't hold onto dreamers
They grow up and just drift away
And later we'll read in the papers
About how well they're doin' today
Small towns can't hold on to dreamers
But the world ain't as a big as it seems
You can live in a castle, you can walk in the sand
But you can't take the home out of dreams
You can't take the home out of dreams
