She stepped off the bus out into the city streets Just a small town girl with her whole life Packed in a suitcase by her feet

But somehow the lights didn'tShine as bright as they didOn her mama's tv screen

And the work seemed harderAnd the days seemed longerThan she ever thought they'd be

But you know you got to stick to your gunsWhen it all comes downCause sometimes you can't chooseIt's like heads they winTails you're gonna lose

Chorus:Win big--Mama's fallen angelLose big--livin' out her liesWants it all--Mama's fallen angelLose it all, rollin' the dice of her life

Now she found herself in the fast lane livin' day to dayTurned her back on her best friends, yeahAnd let her family slip away

Just like a lost soulCaught up in the Hollywood sceneAll the parties and the limousines

Such a good actress hiding all her painTrading her memories for fortune and fame

Just a step away from the edge of a fallCaught between heaven and hellWhere's the girl I knew a year ago

Chorus

Too much too soonOr just a little too lateCause when her ship came inShe wasn't there and it just wouldn't wait

Solo, chorus out
