They say this town
stars stay up all night
Well I don't know can't see em'
For the glow of the neon lights
And it's a long way from here
To the place where the home fires burn
Well it's two thousand miles and one left turn



Lets start at the begining here. Almost a year ago this pretty little girl had come here and on that day, in that time of her life, this had seemed like the big city to her. Her brother had her back the whole time but it still wasn't easy. People looked down at her, she wasn't as good as anyone else and the place had been horrible on her self esteem. In that aspect, it wasn't easy to for her to come back here but she wasn't the scared little girl that she had been then. Scared and poor, thats all she had been...


Dear Mom and Dad please send money
I'm so broke that it ain't funny
Well I Don't need much just enough to get me through
Please don't worry cause I'm alright
See I'm playin here at the bar tonight
Well this time I'm going make our dreams come true
Well I love you more than anything in the world
Love your baby girl



No longer was she that little girl who was writing her mommy and daddy for money to get her through the week, as she walked into the lodge she was clad in designer jeans and black cowboy boots, sleek and well fitting. Her torso was covered in a soft angora sweater, a soft pale pink color that brought out the pretty blush on her cheeks thanks to the cold weather. A leather jacket - black also -rested over it - giving the outfit a complete look. Her hair was wind blown and mussed - though the cut was perfectly fitting to her...


Black top blue sky big town
Full of little white lies
Everybody's your friend
You can never be sure
They promise fancy cars and diamond rings
All sorts of shiny things
Girl you'll remember what your knees are for



It hadn't been easy once she had moved either. For one thing, the searing memory of Ethan's lips on hers as he kissed her goodbye and wished her luck had plagued her for weeks, it had never really been forgotten though it had been pushed aside amidst the busyness that being a rising star was. Plus, she knew that he had other girls with him all the time - hell, that Bianca girl or maybe Melody or any of the numerous other girls that called while she had been giving him tutoring lessons - they were probably warming his bed right now. She kept so busy though that she hadn't gotten overly deep into her thoughts about him and before long her busyness was involving making a video, putting a single out on the radio and just getting her name out there in the world. She'd appeared on to specials CMT and was really starting to get some recognition.


I know that I'm on my way
Well I can tell everytime I play
And I know it's worth all the dues I pay
When I can write to you and say



It had been fun, that was for sure but the big city had yet to taint this pretty little girl. Trent had made sure she stayed in line but she had gotten out a bit. She'd even gone to a couple of dance places - country of course -though it had been more for publicity then anything else. Even now was she walked into the lodge and shook out her hair she could hear a radio with what just happened to be her first single "Baby Girl." It was her life story from the past year and as she looked down at her designer boots, her outfit, the shining white gold ring on her finger...she knew that her dreams had starting becoming reality in the past eight months that she had been gone from this place.


Dear Mom and Dad I'll send money
I'm so rich that it ain't funny
Well it ought to be more than enough to get you through
Please don't worry cause I'm alright
See I'm stayin here at the Ritz tonight
Whatta ya know it made our dreams come true
And there are fancy cars and diamond rings
But I know that they don't mean anything
Well they don't add up to nothin compared to you
Remember me in ribbons and curls
I still love you more than anything in the world
Love your Baby Girl
