Jenny packed the U-Haul
Headed out for Hollywood
No, she never hit the big time
Like the whole town thought she would
She's pouring us these two-for-ones
At the Rusty Nail tonight
Where do dreams go when they die?
That old boy in the corner
With the Coors Light in his hand
He used to run a 40
Quick as anybody can
But he blew his knee on a fourth and three
And there went his full ride
Where do dreams go when they die?
I know my granddaddy went to heaven
And my old hunting dog did too
And I know roses wind up in the trash
When it's been a week or two
I know my Jeep went to the junkyard
When I rolled it on its side
But where do dreams go...
Where do dreams go when they die?
It might be the whiskey talkin'
But I wonder how we went
From astronauts and cowboys
To just tryna pay the rent
Everyone was gonna be somebody
Once upon a time
But where do dreams go when they die?
I know my granddaddy went to heaven
And my old hunting dog did too
And I know roses wind up in the trash
When it's been a week or two
I know my Jeep went to the junkyard
When I rolled it on its side
But where do dreams go...
Where do dreams go when they die?
Where do dreams go when they die?
I'm sittin' on this barstool
Smoke hangin' in the air
With the diamond in my pocket
You ain't never gonna wear
'Cause you packed your bags, slammed the door
And put that car in drive
Where do dreams go...
Where do dreams go when they die?
Where do dreams go...
Where do dreams go when they die?
Where do dreams go when they die
