Testo Dreams Don't Come True

I thought
There'd be a man in a suit and a ten-gallon hat
He'd give me a deal and a red Cadillac
And I'd make hit records and get hooked on drugs
But I wound up pregnant and strung out on love

Dreams don't come true
They'll make a mess out of you They'll hang around the darkest corners of your mind
They'll beat your heart black and blue
Don't let anyone tell you they do
Dreams don't come true

I thought
I'd change the world with three chords and the truth
I'd be like Elvis but with lipstick and boobs
My bra would be floatin' in a guitar-shaped pool
And I'd flip the bird to them whores in high school

Dreams don't come true
They'll make a mess out of you
They'll hang around the darkest corners of your mind
They'll beat your heart black and blue Don't let anyone tell you they do
Dreams don't come true

I hate to put a damper
On the fairy tale you pictured
I shoulda known all along that
Glass slippers give you blisters

Dreams don't come true
They'll make a mess out of you
They'll hang around the darkest corners of your mind
They'll beat your heart black and blue (black and blue)
Don't let anyone tell you they do
Dreams don't come true
