and I knew I wouldn't get my way
The director shouted, girl,
He said the union was not happy
I knew my last performance
My manager said don't listen
and I promise that you'll get your way.
yet something wasn't feeling right.
It seems like no one ever comes to
No good in the showbiz world
and me laughing as a little girl
You were Chickasaw County
thinkin' this town's heaven
I'd turn out like Miss Fancy somehow
Look at me, I got it all,
When you get what you wish for,
Success is awfully costly,
but it surely ought to hide my pain
Catering cooked your favorites
and you haven't even touched a bite
That nice billboard writer,
Said you might get the cover,
He said he saw you early on
Sometimes you rise too high
Christmas night in 78 was my last gig
It was walk away, softly,
or stay until I flipped my wig
I left the stage, the lights,
It seems I spend a lot of time
picking flowers below Choctaw Ridge
And laugh at the reflection
in the wa ter underneath the bridge
And laugh at the reflection
in the water underneath the bridge
