Hey baby, is that you?
Wow, your hair got so long.
Yeah, yeah, I love it, I really do.
Norma Jean, ain't that the song we'd sing in the car
Drivin' downtown, top down, makin' the rounds 
Checking out the bands on Doheny Avenue. 

Yeah, life throws you curves, 
But you've learned to swerve, 
Me, I swung and I missed, 
And the next thing ya know, I'm reminiscing...
Dreaming old dreams, wishing old wishes, 
Like you would be back again.

I wake up and tear drops, that fall down like rain, 
I put on that old song we danced to and then, 
I head off to my job, guess not much has changed,
Punch the clock, head for home, 
Check the phone, just in case, 
Go to bed, dream of you, 
That's what I'm doin' these days.
Yeah that's what I'm doin'

Someone told me, after college, you ran off to Vegas, 
You married a rodeo cowboy,
Wow, that ain't the girl I knew, 
Me, I've been a few places, 
Mostly here and there once or twice, 
Still sortin' out life, but I'm doin' all right, 
Yeah, it's good to see you, too.

Well, hey girl you're late, and those planes, they don't wait,

But if you [bad word] back around this sleepy old town, 
Promise me you'll stop in, to see an old friend, and until then

I wake up and tear drops, that fall down like rain, 
I put on that old song we danced to and then, 
I head off to my job, guess not much has changed,
Punch the clock, head for home,
Check the phone, just in case, 
Go to bed, dream of you, 
That's what I'm doin' these...

I wake up and tear drops, that fall down like rain, 
I put on that old song we danced to and then,

I wake up and tear drops, that fall down like rain,
I put on that old song we danced to and then,
I wake up and tear drops, that fall down like rain,
I put on that old song we danced to and then
