Roy Drusky - Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife Lyrics

She looks in the mirror and stares at the wrinkles that weren't there yesterday

And thinks of the young man that she almost married

What would he think if he saw her this way

She holds up her apron in little girl fashion as something comes into her mind

Then slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood

And all of the boys she had waiting in line

Ah such are the dreams of the everyday housewife

You see everywhere anytime of the day

Like the everyday housewife that gave up the good time for me

[ ac.guitar ]

The photograph album she takes from the closet and slowly turns the first page

And carefully picks up the crumbling flower

The first one he gave her now withered with age

She closes her eyes and touches the housedress that suddenly disappears

And just for a moment she's wearing the gown

That broke all their minds back so many years

Ah such are the dreams...
