Ambition

I was hanging round in a dead end town where dreams die

And the only sound was the echo of goodbye in my mind

I saw my choices beckon, like gold dust it the sky

So I packed up my life, left my heart behind

Was a heavy ride with a suitcase full of memories

Got a picture of you and a vision of new horizons to fly

I thought I had the answers to this emptiness inside

But I guess fame wast just another place to hide

Ambition, it's a funny old game

Ambition, it drives a girl insane

But money talks and failure walks alone

Ambition, walk her into the fire

Ambition, she needs a shot of desire

So some poor fools like me and you can follow into the light

It's a heavy road when you think you're going nowhere

And the future holds all the same mistakes you tried to ignore

My mamma tried to warn me but I said I did not care

I wast fifteen pushing thirly, heading out that door

Ambition, it's a funny old game

Ambition, it drives a girl insane

But money talks and failure walks alone

Ambition, walk her into the fire

Ambition, she needs a shot of desire

So some poor fools like me and you can follow into the light

She was born to dance in the spotlight

'Cause the feelin' inside is so right, tonight, so right, hey, hey

I thought I had the answers to this emptiness inside

But I guess fame wast just another place to hide, another place to hide

Ambition, it's a funny old game

Ambition, it drives a girl insane

But money talks and failure walks alone

Ambition, walk her into the fire

Ambition, she needs a shot of desire

So some poor fools like me and you can follow into the light
