Broken Dreams

She always wanted a pony
But she never got one
She dreamed of riding out on the prairie
In the fields of Oklahoma
But all a city girl’s got is her dreams

He was an Oklahoma cowboy
And he promised her forever
He said he would lasso the moon
To match the twinklin’ stars in her eyes

Chorus:
Broken dreams and promises
Are sure to be her fortune
How can love so right feel so bad inside?
Her heart is calloused over
Just like his workin’ hands
So many times it’s been ripped apart before
Could it ever heal to love again for sure?

After sleepless nights she decided she
Wouldn’t spend another single night alone
She hopped a plane to surprise him
Drove a rental car through that red dust bowl
Could this be that dream come true for sure?

Repeat Chorus

That old dirt road was new to her
But his old familiar truck was home
She felt like a silly school girl
So excited to surprise her man at home
Problem is, he wasn’t alone.
His wife had the sweetest smile
And his girls had hair of gold

Repeat Chorus

She’ll have to mend those broken dreams
Forgive those broken promises
And start all over again.
