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 mama's TV screen
And the work seemed harder and the days seemed longer
Than she ever thought they'd be
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 and tails you're gonna lose
Win big, mama's fallen angel
Lose big, livin' out her lies
Wants it all, mama's fallen angel
Lose it all rollin' the dice of her life
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 of her pain
Trading her memories for fortune and fame
Just a step away from the edge of a fall
Caught between heaven and hell
Where's the girl I knew a year ago?
Win big, mama's fallen angel
Lose big, livin' out her lies
Wants it all, mama's fallen angel
Lose it all rollin' the dice of her life
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
Win big, mama's fallen angel
Lose big, livin' out her lies
Wants it all, mama's fallen angel
Lose it all rollin' the dice of her life
Win big, mama's fallen angel
Lose big, livin' out her lies
Wants it all, mama's fallen angel
Lose it all rollin' the dice of her life
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 mama's TV screen And the work seemed harder and the days seemed longer Than she ever thought they'd be 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 and tails you're gonna lose Win big, mama's fallen angel Lose big, livin' out her lies Wants it all, mama's fallen angel Lose it all rollin' the dice of her life 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 of her pain Trading her memories for fortune and fame Just a step away from the edge of a fall Caught between heaven and hell Where's the girl I knew a year ago? Win big, mama's fallen angel Lose big, livin' out her lies Wants it all, mama's fallen angel Lose it all rollin' the dice of her life 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 Win big, mama's fallen angel Lose big, livin' out her lies Wants it all, mama's fallen angel Lose it all rollin' the dice of her life Win big, mama's fallen angel Lose big, livin' out her lies Wants it all, mama's fallen angel Lose it all rollin' the dice of her life Explain Request ×
