Dreams Of

They talked about her on the 10'clock news shows
Found her car on County road just 7 days ago
MM, MMm 
And then the rumors and the whispers on the playground 
Went round and round just like a fire in a straw house 
Getting so loud 
She dreamed of a life way past twenty-four
But dreams here in this small town make you wonder 
What nightmares are for 

Finally found her and the stories were the worst kind 
Her mother cried to the reporters wants to know why 
Mm, mmm
They got the man they wanted nevermind he's innocent 
Someone they had to take the fall it might as well be him 

He dreamed of a life, not living anymore 
Cause dreams here in this small town make you wonder 
What nightmares are for 

I can see her face and her blue eyes as she looked at me & said goodbye 
Cradle to the grave for her was a blink of the eye 

She dreamed of a life way past twenty-four
But dreams here in this small town make you wonder 
What nightmares are for
