Sally wakes and ties her laces Sees all the familiar faces That she’s known since she was very young Longs to go to foreign places Skip away without a trace and Leave her dreary past so far away

Don’t you know she thinks about it Slipping away Don’t care if she gets the sack Green light down the railroad track Don’t know if she’s ever coming back

Climb on the bus hop on the train Squeeze in the car get on the plane It don’t matter how you do it Burn all the bridges cut all the strings Wipe off the frown it don’t mean a thing Now that she is flying into her dreams

Rays of gold and turquoise seas She eases into tropic heat The images of life so fancy free Every foreign street around her Weaves its’ magic tapestries Kaleidoscope of colors off the sea

Don’t you know she thinks about it Slipping away There’s a secret that she’s keeping It’s not hard to figure out She wakes up every morning with a smile

Climb on the bus hop on the train Squeeze in the car get on the plane It don’t matter how you do it This is your life this is your game Play it like you won’t be here again Then you’ll find the answer to your dream
