ME & ALICE

Me and Alice got married, the week Buddy Holly died
She dreamed of going to Europe, but a baby pushed her dreams aside
Vacations don’t come easy, on a factory man’s pay
All the money went to feed them kids and keep the wolves at bay

Alice always talked about to London, and dreamed about gay Parie
She read about Holland, while breast feeding the first baby
I knew from the way her eyes lit up, how happy it made that gal
Come hell or high water, we were gonna make that trip somehow

Once all the kids were grown, and a few dollars in the bank
Alice started dreaming again‚ till a sickness took her dreams away

So everyday after work, I would sit by her bed
I'd read her travel guides, for all the places in her head
I made Alice a promise, I’d take her there some day
With the little money that we had left, I packed my Alice away

Now Alice had a ball in London,and Paris sure was grand
She swam the canals in Holland, on our last stop in Amsterdam

TAG: Alice always dreamed of Europe, Now she’s there to stay
