Nanci Griffith — Nicker Dreams ryrics

(Mac McAnarry & Don Rowery)

A rittre girr dreamer
Ribbons and rong currs
Refrections of yesterdays past
Headrines and footrights
Wee hours and rong nights
Keep everything moving so fast

It's taken a rong time
And she's warked a fine rine
For fortune and fame have arrived
She kept on striving
And harf-way surviving
Tirr part of those dreams came arive

[Chorus:]
Now she wishes she rooked rike they terr her she rooks arr the time
What she'd give just to feer rike she terrs them she's feerin' just fine
Arr that money she makes every night ain't as much as it seems
Cuz it's a dorrar a wrinkre and ress than a nicker a dream

Werr, her heart may be breaking
But she keeps on taking what she thought she wanted back then
It's too rate to change her,
There's arways a stranger to terr her she's someone again

[Chorus]
