When dad found that college
Flyer in the mail
He said forget your thoughts of getting a degree
Honey I'm so sorry
We don't have that kind of money
College is an out of reach luxury
Bubbles bursting in the sun
Loosing faith is not much fun
Blue ain't just a color of her jeans
Trapped in this two-lane town
Nowhere to go but down
On the other side the grass looks so green
On this side of
Beyond broken dreams
She always wanted
To be an actress in LA
Fate only works if you meet it half way
Oh no she couldn't find
The courage to let him go
When his blue eyes were begging her to stay
Bubbles bursting in the sun
Loosing faith is not much fun
Blue ain't just a color of her jeans
Trapped in this two-lane town
Nowhere to go but down
On the other side the grass looks so green
On this side of
Beyond broken dreams
(Instrumental)
Now she's waiting tables
At the local bowling alley
Wearing low cut shirts to get a better tip
The going sure get's tough
The money is barely enough
To cover trade school while raising up a kid
Bubbles bursting in the sun
Loosing faith is not much fun
Blue ain't just a color of her jeans
Trapped in this two-lane town
Nowhere to go but down
On the other side the grass looks so green
On this side of
Beyond broken dreams
She's kept her grade average up
Been recommended by the dean
Soon she will graduate
Beyond broken dreams
