Broken Dreams Sell Cheap

Broken Dreams Sell Cheap
© 2011, Louisa Branscomb, Tony Rackley

I got a letter from the bank again today
said the payments on the house are way past due
I just tossed it on the pile with the other dreams
that won’t come true

All I wanted was a little house on a quiet street
live my life with the only love she’s ever known
took 30 years to build the american dream
but now....well its all gone

CHORUS
The sign that says for sale out in my yard
tells the story for all the world to see
another lifetime falls to pieces
broken dreams sell cheap

It wasn’t long ago I had a job that paid me good
at the factory on the other side of town
Piece by Piece I saw it all get hauled away
the day they shut it down

CHORUS
The sign that says for sale out in my yard
tells the story for all the world to see
another lifetime falls to pieces
broken dreams sell cheap


BRIDGE

Someone’s put a bid on my tomorrows

nothin lasts forever now it seems

a brand new coat of paint can’t hide the sorrows

in the land of broken dreams

CHORUS
The sign that says for sale out in my yard
tells the story for all the world to see
another lifetime falls to pieces
broken dreams sell cheap

another lifetime falls to pieces …....broken dreams sell cheap
