Mindy Mccready - Cross Against The Moon Lyrics
(brian dean maher/kris bergsnes)Moonlight streaks across a picture of a marilyn monroeWhile the corn stocks rattle outside her bedroom windowA strong nebraska wind laying those prairie fields flatShe reads those Bible stories to her calico catShe stares into the mirror at the cross around her neckAnd hears her daddys sermons echo through her headThen she closes her eyes and drifts into a dreamSees her name on a marquis sign beside james deanIts the cross against the moonA restless girl in a pink bedroomSweet seventeen and the silver screenYellow brick road and technicolor dreamsNothings black and whiteNothings wrong or rightJust questions that she hopes to answer soonIts the cross against the moonWoo-oh, cross against the moonOh, yeahHer daddy said sundays spent in gospel tentsWould keep the stars from stealing her innocenceShe wants to live her life without these doubts and fearsBut the sound of brimstone burning whispers in her earsSo she fights the battle of what she wants to beTrying hard to find the courage to chase her dreamsShe looks up to marilyn says your looking goodShe puts her Bible in her suitcase, pens off to hollywoodIts the cross against the moonA restless girl in a pink bedroomSweet seventeen and the silver screenYellow brick road and technicolor dreamsNothings black and whiteNothings wrong or rightJust questions that she hopes to answer soonIts the cross against the moonWoo-oh, cross against the moonCross against the moonOoh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
