When the sand of times start to blow her away She would tend to nev'r see a thing And she gave up on Holland Road With too heavy to carry... a weary soul So pardon me... didn't mean to waste your time Music's playin and dinner's on the table by nine But if you go... you should know A baby don't wait... no... if she cries And Momma don't drive real straight with tears in her eyes When you're dreamin... she's mendin teenage hearts and torn jeans Yeah, she's livin' on Broke Down Dreams She can sing and dance like mornin' ray I'd see it in my Grandma's frames And she gave birth to a gift on a summer day And two more to follow, eight years away So pardon me... didn't mean to waste your time The music's playin and dinner's on the table by nine But if you go... you should know Baby don't rest... when she cries And Momma don't drive real straight with tears in her eyes When you're dreamin... She's mendin teenage hearts and torn jeans Yeah she's livin on... Broke Down Dreams {Fiddle interlude} Baby don't wait... no, when she cries Momma don't drive real straight with tears in her eyes When you're dreamin... She's mendin teenage hearts and torn jeans Yeah, she's livin on... Broke Down Dreams Yeah, she's livin on... Broke Down Dreams Yeah, she's livin on... Broke Down Dreams Yeah, she's livin on...
