I met Alexis on the road to California   Said she dreamed of running away   She’d never been outside her small town life   Was afraid of becoming a housewife   Driving her kids to little league in an SUV   Wanted to do something with her life      Well LA’s not so far away   Just need someone to get you there   I would never say this to you   But I don’t think you’ll make it   Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try      We were on the road for 9 long hours   Tired of fast food and awkward silences   In the back of your mind   you were thinkin’ it would be worth it   Meanwhile, I’m thinkin’   “She doesn’t have a shot”   But the old Chevrolet rolled on anyway      Well LA’s not so far away   Just need someone to get you there   I would never say this to you   But I don’t think you’ll make it   Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try      When we parted ways   She said I’d see her on the silver screen   I just nodded and smiled   Thought, “Yeah, right   Same old story never comes true”   But 2 years later, she proved me wrong      Alexis is a big star today   Says she’s never heard of me   Claims she doesn’t know me   I guess I deserve it   But Alexis she taught me   that maybe it’s not so impossible   and maybe my own dreams are not so far away
