Thus are the dreams of an average jane...

90 miles an hour, down a lover's lane....
        Am                                   F         F

                                  F                    B
destined to deceive her, he's the wrong kind of paradise...

Just a little while into Abilene,

C                                                  
She only wanted love...didn't bargain for this....
C
she can't help but love him for the way he is...
    Am                                 F              F

Somewhere in a roadside motel room... alone in the silence... she wakes up too soon...
     Am                                         F           F
