She stepped off the bus out into the city streets
Just a small town girl with her whole life packed in a suitcase by her feet
But somehow the lights didn't shine as bright as they did
On her mama's TV screen
And the work seemed harder
Days seemed longer
Than she ever thought they'd be

But you know you got to stick to your guns when it all comes down
Cause sometimes you can't choose
It's like heads they win
Tails you're gonna lose


Chorus:

Win big--Mama's fallen angel
Lose big--livin' own lives
Wants it all--Mama's fallen angel
Lose it all, rollin' the dice of her life


Now she found herself in the fast lane livin' day to day
Turned her back on her best friends, yeah
And let her family slip away
Just like a lost soul caught up in the Hollywood scene
All the parties and the limousines
Such a good actress hiding all her pain
Trading her memories for fortune and fame

Just a step away from the edge of a fall
Caught between heaven and hell
Where's the girl I knew a year ago


Chorus:

Win big--Mama's fallen angel
Lose big--livin' own lives
Wants it all--Mama's fallen angel
Lose it all, rollin' the dice of her life


Too much too soon
Or just a little too late
Cause when her ship came in
She wasn't there and it just wouldn't wait

Solo

Chorus:

Win big--Mama's fallen angel
Lose big--livin' own lives
Wants it all--Mama's fallen angel
Lose it all, rollin' the dice of her life
