about

A nice slice of alt-country

lyrics

Carey what happened to your big time plans
Did you run with your dreams, or sit on your hands?
Did you make it? Did you leave town?
Or did you just make babies with some clown?

I remember you well
That smile was the first thing I'd see
The big shy boy with few friends
But you always had time for me

Growing up can be so cruel
But you were always so kind
My dad said you were a distant cousin
So love was out of my mind

Carey what happened to your big time plans
Did you run with your dreams, or sit on your hands?
Did you make it? Did you leave town?
Or did you just make babies with some clown?

I remember at lunchtime
You sat with me and my friends
You could have sat with the popular kids
But you were cooler than them

You used to talk of the future
Getting out of our tiny town
Making your way in the big world
Carey where are you now?

Carey what happened to your big time plans
Did you run with your dreams, or sit on your hands?
Did you make it? Did you leave town?
Or did you just make babies with some clown?

I heard you got married
Not long after you got out
Did you settle, forget your dreams
Or did you make them happen somehow?

Carey what happened to your big time plans
Did you run with your dreams, or sit on your hands?
Did you make it? Did you leave town?
Or did you just make babies with some clown?
