Next In Line
© 2001 Mike Estep (BMI)

She left her wedding dress that she wore three times
In a cardboard box on the county line
"The charm may be there for someone else,
But it’s never worked for me"

She’s got two kids and a rusting car
A book of dreams with no shining star
Anyone who knows
Says she deserves much more than this

(Chorus)
She’s next in line for the new beginning
She’s next in line for the happy ending
She’s next in line on the waiting list
For the perfect, perfect love

She works a double shift and gets the kids to school
Sleeps two hours and swears it’s cool
It’s hard to blaze any new frontiers
When you’re running just on fumes

She can’t hold back the falling sand
She holds tight to her long term plan
Honest love and a pedestal
Where she sits so way up high

Chorus
She’s next in line for the new beginning
She’s next in line for the happy ending
She’s next in line on the waiting list
For the perfect, perfect love


She takes her lotto picks and section A
Sits down just like every day
"I don't want to be standing
When these numbers finally hit"
She takes a look and tears the ticket up
Drops it in her coffee cup
Walks away with a smile and says
"I only missed by six"

Chorus
She’s next in line for the new beginning
She’s next in line for the happy ending
She’s next in line on the waiting list
For the perfect, perfect love
