She's from a one-horse town
A place where talents drown
But somehow, she got away

At 19 years of age
She moved to L.A
And found herself an actress

The lights in the city burn bright
They flicker off and on

She looks out her window at the night lights
And wonders what her life would be like
If she made it
If she made it
If she made it
If she made it

She sat in a café
Just outside L.A
And ordered some caffeine

Another idle play
Another wasteful day
But then she got her part

The lights in the city burn bright
They flicker off and on

She looks out her window at the night lights
And remembers what her life was like
Before she made it
Before she made it
Before she made it
Before she made it

It all worked out
She got fame, money and recognition
She tried to remember the place she spent her childhood in isolation
She liked the idea of returning there someday
But she was still so glad

That she moved to L.A
At 19 years of age
And that she became an actress

She looks out her window at the night lights
And wonders what her life would be like
If she didn't make it
If she didn't make it
If she didn't make it
If she didn't make it
In a hit sitcom
