Miss Penny stays busy all night slinging slop
Waiting on tables at the local truck stop
And when her shift ends, she’s slinging a mop
Dancing it 'cross the floor, with a skip and a hop, she sings

One day I will be a big movie star
I'll cruise down Rodeo in a stretch limo car
I'll walk the red carpet, sayin’ all the right things
You can let go of everything else, but
Hold on to your dreams

Before the sun rises, she pulls on her coat
The money she earns barely keeps her afloat
But still she goes on ‘cause she knows in her soul
It’s all an illusion, and she's playing a role, she sings

One day I will be a big movie star
I'll spend all my winters on Caribbean shores
I'll sign autographs, and live beyond my means
You can let go of everything else, but
Hold on to your dreams

While walking home her eyes turn to the stars
She never notices that oncoming car
She steps from the curb into the ICU ward
And a nurse making rounds swears she hears sounds
Walks to Miss Penny's bed and slowly leans down
Miss Penny is softly singing

See, I told you I’d be a big movie star
I'm cruising Rodeo in a stretch limo car
I’m on that red carpet, sayin’ all the right things
You can let go of everything else, but
Hold on to your dreams

Miss Penny said she’d be a big movie star
Now she’s cruising Rodeo in a stretch limo car (Your dreams)
She’s on that red carpet with her halo and wings
You can let go of everything else
Let go of everything else
Yeah you can let go of everything else, but
Hold on to your dreams
