She ran out of the hall And threw her home work on the floor And this time, she swore to herself She won´t be coming back no more She nearly rushed upon me As I passed her by And I could see her desperation And the fear in her eyes BRIDGE: So I took her in my arms and gently touched her face And she grew strong and said she may have lost this race SongtexteCHORUS: But she will never break down She will never lose her head No, she won´t do that favour to her dad Just a little girl at the age of seventeen With blisters on her body And a pocketful of dreams I met him by the playground Where we used to go But he wasn´t quiet the guy That I used to know He told me ´bout his family Four hungry mouths to feed And without a job to do There ain´t no way to make ends meet BRIDGE: Two little boys devisin´ plans, well, those days may be gone But I know no one can keep this guy from goin´ on CHORUS: No, he will never break down He will never lose his head No, he won´t do that favour to his dad Beggin´ for a dime is not as foolish as it seems For a man with growin´ weakness And a pocketful of dreams I don´t even remember, back in 1975 To me the day he left Was just another day in life Mom never seemed to care about Him coming home too late But tears were in her eyes When she turned to me and said BRIDGE: ?Boy, your daddy´s left forever, he may be far away and gone But no one ever keeps your mom from growin´ strong CHORUS: And she will never break down She will never lose her head No, she won´t do that favour to your dad And one day she will see Those days are better than they seem He left me with a broken heart And a pocketful of dreams? CHORUS: No, she will never break down She will never lose her head No, she won´t do that favour to my dad And one day she will see Those days are better than they seem He left her with a broken heart And a pocketful of dreams?
