by: Jude ColeDream town, no money down
Young girls shine electric in the sun
Mirror mirror, up in the sky
Tell me, why should I be the lowly one?
Big splash, low on cash
I don't know baby, and I don't care
See, it comes and goes
It's the highs and the lows of the hundred dollar millionaire
I promised her, I wouldn't stay
She calls me every single day
But the rain don't snow and the hurt don't show
And I don't think, I can let it go
Madison, ooh, Madison
It's a long way home Madison
Heart breaker, what does it take
How many times can a fool say, I forgive
Before he falls into a stranger's arms
And finds out what it's like to live
You could say you're sorry in your sleep
But your apologies are cheap
But my heart feels strange
Like something's changed
Like, I don't think I'll be back again
To Madison, ooh, Madison
It's a long way home Madison
I'll write your name down on a pretty red balloon
Give it a kiss and let it fly straight to the moon
To the moon
And my heart feels strange
Like something's changed
Like I have been born again
Madison, ooh, Madison
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
To Madison, Madison
