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
And the 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

Win big--Mama´s fallen angel
Lose big--livin´ out her lies
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

Win big--Mama´s fallen angel
Lose big--livin´ out her lies
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
