Disenchanted Charms

I know disenchanted charms
Sold in the window shop at the highest dollar
Saw men turn to dogs
Salivating and panting over a gold collar
While their shoes wear out
They've been walking the hard road
Looking for a way out

And they say all you have to do is cross the tracks

Past the broken down carts covered in graf
Past the dwindling budget with a frustrating math
Yet a child still looks to the sky and dreams big
The sweet prairie air carries her laugh
