Poor Girls Dreams

[Musical-Monkey]

I think we can all relate at some point in our live to this song.  I just picked up my favorite singers newest album.  Terri Clark, The Long Road Home.  EXCELENT!!!!

Even Though I just bought my first house...  I've been to the launder-mat...I've worked the double shift...still do sometimes.  and yeah, some weeks, I still pray for that 1/4 tank to make it through the week.  :-)

She don't dream of spring in Paris
Jettin off to Singapore
She just needs a quarter tank
To get her to the grocery store
She don't buy filet mignon
She just wants some extra pork in her beans

It may not sound like much
But that's the stuff that makes up a poor girls dream

She's tired of haulin baskets
Down to the laundry mat
Dealin with the weirdos
And the stress of all of that
She'd rather put her dollar somewhere other than a washin machine

Well it may not sound like much
But that's the stuff that makes up a poor girls dream
If you've got a million you want two
If you ain't got nothin any little thing will do

She works on the clock
Punchin in & out for years
She'd like to take that double shift
And shift it down a gear
Go home and light a candle
Paint her toes a different color and just breathe

Well it may not sound like much
But that's the stuff that makes up a poor girls dream
If you've got a million you want two
If you ain't got nothin any little thing will do

A little piece of mind
Just a taste of what could be
It may not sound like much
But that's the stuff that makes up poor girls dream

Yeah it may not sound like much
But that's the stuff that makes up poor girls dream
A poor girls dream

What a cool poem/song!  I can relate,as I imagine most of us can.  As a mom, that spare moment I get to light a candle and breathe is a dream come true :)
