She stepped off the bus out into the city streets
  Just a small town girl with her whole life
  Packed in a suitcase by her feet
    But somehow the lights didn't
  shine as bright as they did
  On her mama's TV screen
    And the work seemed harder
  And the days seemed longer
  Than she ever thought they'd be
    But you know you got to stick to your guns
  When it all comes down
  Cause sometimes you can't choose
  It's like heads they win
  Tails you're gonna lose
    Chorus:
  Win big--Mama's fallen angel
  Lose big--livin' out her lies
  Wants it all--Mama's fallen angel
  Lose it all, rollin' the dice of her life
    Now she found herself in the fast lane livin' day to day
  Turned her back on her best friends, yeah
  And let her family slip away
    Just like a lost soul
  caught up in the Hollywood scene
  All the parties and the limousines
    Such a good actress hiding all her pain
  Trading her memories for fortune and fame
    Just a step away from the edge of a fall
  Caught between heaven and hell
  Where's the girl I knew a year ago
    Chorus
    Too much too soon
  Or just a little too late
  Cause when her ship came in
  She wasn't there and it just wouldn't wait
    Solo, chorus out
