Joanie fell in love with a boy and his guitar
But her mamma told her he would never make it as a star,
Just like her daddy


Why don't you get back with that nice young lawyer that you used to date


You need to Get knocked up and then get married and your life will be straight
Just trust your mamma


She said frorget about love and all these God Damn dreams
Cause we ain't never had no mansion or pretty things


Just keep him happy and you'll do as you please,
Just don't fall in love and get knocked up
Working 2 jobs living, in a broke down trailer

Walking to wall-mart with to crying babies,
Like me.


Little Annie will have her daughter by the time she turns 17
She did like mamma taught her and got knocked up
Before he leaves, off to college


He was a football star with scholarship and the promising career
He'll probably win a championship before his senior year, but she don't love him


Her mamma said frorget about love and all these God Damn dreams
Cause we ain't never had no mansion or pretty things


Just keep him happy and you'll do as you please,
Just don't fall in love and get knocked up

Working 2 jobs living, in a broke down trailer
Walking to wall-mart with to crying babies,
Like me.


Happiness is not something we compromise in dreams
In real life happiness is the illusion of our means

The grass is always greener and lemonade is sweeter
On the other side


Her mamma said frorget about love and all these God Damn dreams
Cause we ain't never had no mansion or pretty things


Just keep him happy and you'll do as you please,
Just don't fall in love and get knocked up
Working 2 jobs living, in a broke down trailer

Walking to wall-mart with to crying babies,
Like me.
