Faded Glory

With the wind at her back
she moved east, picking up the road
as the miles blew past
faded as her tan she no long felt alone

She wore the smile of faded glory on her face
with new risks to take
and a breath of confidence
she kept going east
new dreams new faces
unfamiliar places and a place to start new

As the miles rolled by Johnny sang softly
showing her that walking the line was right
her memories of drugs, sex, and rock n roll
melted away as new ones began

She wore the smile of faded glory
the sun shining on her skin
with each new town the passed
she left the last one behind

faded glory of a hometown queen
faded glory of hazy dreams
faded glory of memories long gone
faded glory of lost and twisted dreams

with one last stretch she yawned lightly
her faded glory had gone completely
she was a new girl with a new world.
