Sun comin' up over New York City.

School bus driver in a traffic jam.

Staring at the faces in her rear view mirror,

Looking at the promise of the promise land.

Where we dream as big as we want to

Sun goin' down on an L.A freeway
Newly-weds in back of a limousine
A welder's son and a banker's daughter
All they want is everything!

And talk about the stars they could have been

Why is this tab rated so low? It at least deserves a 9.
If you can't play something right leave it to someone who knows
what they're doing to rate it. Or at least get another opinion
before you give such a low rating!

I felt it deserved a ten. Dont know why someone would rate it a 3.
-yinielin | 2/24/2003
