She wakes up with the sunrise, same old fields and dust Dreams wrapped up in silence, but she knows she must Leave behind the open skies, the barn and creek so wide There's a fire in her heart she just can't hide

She’s longing for neon lights, a life that moves too fast City streets, crowded nights, a future built to last She’s got dreams in her pocket, stars shining in her eyes She’s longing for a brand-new life

Daddy says the fields are hers, Mama’s heart is torn Small town roots run deep, but she was meant for more She loves the scent of summer rain, the rolling hills so free But there’s a world beyond the fences she needs to see

She’s longing for neon lights, a life that moves too fast City streets, crowded nights, a future built to last She’s got dreams in her pocket, stars shining in her eyes She’s longing for a brand-new life

One day she’ll look back, maybe miss the home she knew But she’s chasing down a future, where her heart can shine through

So she packs up the memories, waves goodbye to the past With her hand on the window, she’s moving on at last
