she was a midwestern prom queen
got her boyfriend headed out west
they ended up in the valley
in a one room apartment
a disconnected phone

she’s got two kids and a note
and if she gets a moment to herself
she can remember how everything used
to go her way
she says

where did the time go
when everything was simple and free?
i want to know what happened
somebody woke me before i could
have my american dream
