lyrics

BALLERINA

A thousand promises that she couldn’t keep
And a thousand scenes that would haunt her in her sleep
Why can’t the beauty lay her fears to rest
And get lost in her lover’s soft caress?
Ballerina
You should have seen her
As she danced along the lighted stage
And a thousand fears that bely your age
Cold taproot and tomboy boots
What tomorrow brings is anybody’s guess
But pray the sun shines down
On the path that suits you best
Well, the country life you’ve known will do you fine
Your friends they drank and they raised hell
And they were tough when they drank their wine
You’re a farmer’s child; he was a gambler like the rest
But you’ve got no reason to go feelin’ like less
Ballerina
You’re daddy’s queen
The way you light the hall like an angel in your dress
All those fears in your pretty head
Worn-out shoes and tomboy boots
What tomorrow brings is anybody’s guess
But pray the sun shines down
On the path that suits you best
Oh, Ballerina
You’re playin’ out the classic scene
Of someone who’s caught between the beautiful and the rest
And a thousand fears in your pretty little head
Worn-out shoes and tomboy boots
What tomorrow brings is anybody’s guess
But pray shuns shine down
On the path that suits you best
ALT V2:
Your father drank and raised hell, etc.
