Chance To Change The World
She's layin' down a groove
On the counter of the greasy spoon she's workin' in, John Cougar on the radio she's tappin' out a time
With her fountain pen
But her mind is full of pictures from a book she read about places she ain't been she dreams about getting out
How far how fast and what she'll do but mostly when then it's back to work again
Someday she'll find the end of the rainbow 'cause she believes she's got a date with destiny she'll make her mark it's all riding on tomorrow
'cause she's got a chance We all get a chance to change the world
She's got a purple tye dyed t-shirt that says Elvis and Einstein are my heroes
And she looks up at the stars and calculates thats just about how far that she'll go and as she breaks a twenty from some guy just passing through
She says it won't be long till i move on, be long gone like you
Someday she'll find the end of the rainbow 'cause she believes she's got a date with destiny she'll make her mark it's all riding on tomorrow
'cause she's got a chance We all get a chance to change the world
In the kitchen there's a coffee can filled with dreams and cash she ain't counted yet, in the bedroom there's a closet and a suitcase full of hope she's already packed and there's a road map on the counter with a red dot on LA. she won't tell you when she's leaving
If you ask her she'll just say
Someday she'll find the end of the rainbow 'cause she believes she's got a date with destiny she'll make her mark it's all riding on tomorrow
'cause she's got a chance We all get a chance to change the world
Everybody gets a chance We all get a chance to change the world
