All the Way to Amsterdam Songtext
von Greg Trooper

She dreams about it every night
She knows just how it′s going to be
Flying down canals of ice
On skates of bright and shining steel

She keeps the book beneath her bed
A flashlight there and know-one knows
Looks at pictures from the Netherlands
Children skating thru the falling snow

Then the morning comes and like a beating drum
Her father pounds upon the door
Her brother cries outside
Her mother 's petrified
So drunk he stumbles to the floor


The sunburn is like a welding torch
Can′t escape it on the Texas plain
The old man stands there on the porche
Tells her never look at me that way

The world will quiet down
She feel save and sound
Alone and curled up in her room
All to the winterland
Fast line and book in hand
Where her reality resumed

She dreams about it every night
She sets her sites and makes her plan
One days she lace her skates uptight
And skate all the way to Amsterdam
One days she lace her skates uptight
And skate all the way to Amsterdam
Skate all the way to Amsterdam
She skate all the way to Amsterdam
