  • Hey baby, is that you?
    Wow, your hair got so long
    Yeah, yeah, I love it, I really do
    Norma Jean, ain't that song
    We'd sing in the car
    Driving downtown, top down
    Making the rounds
    Checking out the bands
    On Doheeney Avenue
    Yeah, life throws you curves
    But you learned to swerve
    Me, I swung and I missed
    And the next thing ya know
    I'm reminiscing
    Dreaming old dreams
    Wishing old wishes
    Like you would be back again

    I wake up in tear drops
    That fall down like rain
    I put on that old song
    We danced to and then
    I head off to my job
    Guess not much has changed
    Punch the clock
    Head for home
    Check the phone, just in case
    Go to bed
    Dream of you
    That's what I'm doing these days

    Yeah, that's what I'm doing

    Someone told me after college
    You ran off to Vegas
    You married a rodeo cowboy
    Wow, that ain't the girl I knew
    Me, I've been a few places
    Mostly here and there, once or twice
    Still sortin' out life, but I'm doing alright
    Yeah, it's good to see you too
    Well, hey girl, you're late
    And those planes, they don't wait
    But if you ever come back around
    This sleepy old town
    Promise me you'll stop in
    To see an old friend
    And until then

    I wake up and tear drops
    That fall down like rain
    I put on that old song
    We danced to and then
    I head off to my job
    Guess not much has changed
    Punch the clock
    Head for home
    Check the phone, just in case
    Go to bed
    Dream of you
    That's what I'm doing these days

    I wake up in tear drops
    That fall down like rain
    I put on that old song
    We danced to and then
    I head off to my job
    Guess not much has changed
    Punch the clock
    Head for home
    Check the phone, just in case
    Go to bed
    Dream of you
    That's what I'm doing these days

    I wake up in tear drops
    That fall down like rain
    I put on that old song
    We danced to and then

    I wake up in tear drops
    That fall down like rain
    I put on that old song
    We danced to and then

    I wake up in tear drops
    That fall down like rain
    I put on that old song
    We danced to and then Writer/s: Danny Mark Wells, Jeffrey R. Steele, Stephen Paul Robson
