She's from a one-horse town
A place where talents drown
But somehow, she got away
At 19 years of age
She moved to L.A
And found herself an actress
The lights in the city burn bright
They flicker off and on
She looks out her window at the night lights
And wonders what her life would be like
If she made it
If she made it
If she made it
If she made it
She sat in a café
Just outside L.A
And ordered some caffeine
Another idle play
Another wasteful day
But then she got her part
The lights in the city burn bright
They flicker off and on
She looks out her window at the night lights
And remembers what her life was like
Before she made it
Before she made it
Before she made it
Before she made it
It all worked out
She got fame, money and recognition
She tried to remember the place she spent her childhood in isolation
She liked the idea of returning there someday
But she was still so glad
That she moved to L.A
At 19 years of age
And that she became an actress
She looks out her window at the night lights
And wonders what her life would be like
If she didn't make it
If she didn't make it
If she didn't make it
If she didn't make it
