Verse 1

 She stepped off the bus out into the city streets

 Just a small town girl with her whole life

 Packed in a suitcase by her feet

 But somehow the lights didn’t

 Shine as bright as they did

 On her mamas tv screen

 And the work seemed harder

 And the days seemed longer

 Than she ever thought they’d be

Bridge

But you know you got to stick to your guns

 When it all comes down

 Cause sometimes you can’t choose

 It’s like heads they win

 Tails you’re gonna lose

Chorus

Win big, mamas fallen angel

Lose big, livin out her lies

Wants it all, mamas fallen angel

Lose it all, rollin the dice of her life

Verse 2

Now she found herself in the fast lane livin day

to day

Turned her back on her best friends, yeah

And let her family slip away

Just like a lost soul

Caught up in the Hollywood scene

All the parties and the limousines

Such a good actress hiding all her pain

Trading her memories for fortune and fame

Bridge

Just a step away from the edge of a fall

Caught between heaven and hell

Where’s the girl I knew a year ago

Chorus

Too much too soon

 Or just a little too late

 Cause when her ship came in

 She wasn’t there and it just wouldn’t wait

Solo, chorus out
