Reba Nickel Dreams lyrics

Reba
American Legends Best of the Early Years
Nickel Dreams
A little girls dream world
Of ribbons and long curls
Reflections of yesterdays past
Now headline and footlights
Wee hours and long nights
Keep everything movin so fast

It's taken a long time
And she's walked a thin line
But the fame and the fortune arrived
She kept on strivin
Half way surivin
Til part of those dreams came alive

And she wishes she looked
Like they tell her she looks all the time

What she'd give just to feel like
She tells them she's feeling
"Just fine"
And all that money she makes every night
Ain't as much as it seems
It's a dollar a wrinkle
And less than a nickle a dream

Her heart may be breakin
But she keeps on takin
What she thought she wanted back then
It's too late to change her
There's always a stranger
To tell her she's someone again

And she wishes she looked...
