Dandelion Wishes

Verse 1
Natalie Rae was your small town beauty queen
She always took the time to relax on her mama's knee
Her daddy died when she was a little girl
She knew the cruelty living in the world
Yet she wore a smile for the folks

Chorus:
She had a life full of dandelion wishes
Boyfriend's sweet kisses
A daddy that she misses
And ivory skin that glistens
In the Alabama sun
She shoots her own gun
She knew the day would come
When those dandelion wishes would be more than fun

Verse 2:
Her daddy's last words were no regrets
She'd never left her town or traveled on a jet
When she set her sites on those California dreams
She asked her man are you going or staying
There's a long way to go so you better start praying
That these wishes of mine are more than what it seems

Verse 3:
It wasn't long that young Natalie Rae
Perked her head up and found her way
And soon she was lighting up the movie screen
She built her mama a house and supported her for life
She said yes to her man and became his wife
And found the happiness of life in a world that's so mean

Chorus:
