Текст пісні
Ten miles out of Houston, she hasn't got a dime
But she's going to the land of milk and honey
Standing on the highway, across the state line
She caught a ride on a freight train, she is free
She's got no time to think about
The simple life she's thrown away
Stepping off the Greyhound in downtown L.A
She come a long way from where she used to be
Laughing at the people who begged her to stay
She goes dancing alone down the street
Yes, selling her charms to every stranger
Wasting all her sunny days
With city stars in her country eyes
Bright lights, fluorescent lights
She had to be in the big time
Oh, lay her life on the bottom line
Follow her dreams to the city, yeah
If you're down on Main Street, you'll see her there
Looking hard, passing cards out for Jesus
She's telling everybody the time is at hand
And that Satan is coming to meet us
Oh, her silver dreams all left behind
Faded into yesterday
At city stars in her country eyes
Bright lights, fluorescent lights
She had to be in the big time, yeah
Lay her life on the bottom line, oh
Said she had to be in the big time
Gonna lay her life right down, down, down, down
On the bottom line
Talking 'bout the changes
The girl went through
She had to be in the big time
Oh yeah, she's gonna be in the big time
