She was on a road to nowhere driving fast trying to forget her past
She remembers leaving family things along the way
like pictures of them at the holidays
After what her daddy did but said he'd never do
she had nothing left to lose
Shes going out to Hollywood to make it with the stars
Forget the place that made her who she was
But back up in the valley she don't want to call her home
Her mama cries and sits beside the phone

Mountain snow and valley rain don't it always stay the same
some things they will never change like mountain snow and valley rain

She gets out to So-Cal yeah sells it to the stars she dances late and he parks cars
He's just a country boy from western Tennessee says someday he'll be on TV
Two months down the road they find with little warning
they're engaged and waiting on a newborn
Somewhere in the complicated crap along the way
she loses baby boy in May

chorus

She remembers walking back up Vine to hotel home lifeless there she sees his note
Said he couldn't deal with loss of baby and so he was off to maybe find another way
-love Jay
She can feel in something like a dreary dream her mama told her “men ain't never what they seem to be”
Melinda doesn't stick around to take the rest, her fucking ring goes fast into the wall

chorus

And back up in the valley now her mama lies alone
on a pretty hill under a stone
and she gets on a road to nowhere driving fast..
