Sister had a crystal voice |
|
She played a |
|
Silvertone from |
|
Montgomery |
|
WardBaez songs in |
|
Monroe hair |
|
She sure could turn the boys' heads to stare |
|
Swim wear saunter, tan and haunt them |
|
That's all she learned in school |
|
Books were for the other girls |
|
And the other girls were fools |
|
In Texas back in sixty-nine |
|
It was drive-in movies and dashboard lights |
|
Father waltzed her down the aisle' |
|
Cause college didn't suit her style |
|
The sad truth was that she could barely read |
|
But, if you'd told dear |
|
FatherHe wouldn't believe you |
|
The telephone rang it drove |
|
Mother insane |
|
From the hearts left on the shelf |
|
Sister's gone and she won't be home' |
|
Cause she didn't take care of herself |
|
In Texas back in sixty-nine |
|
It was drive-in movies and dashboard lights |
|
Where is she now? |
|
The backseat |
|
Queen of fraternity |
|
Where is she now? |
|
She is heavy of thigh and light on integrity |
|
Someone should've told her |
|
When beauty's all you offer |
|
Too soon the world discovers that your |
|
Beauty's gone(It's gone ) |
|
Mother can't you hear your daughter crying |
|
Father wake up her youth is dying |
|
Her kids are grown |
|
Husband's gone away |
|
It's a shame 'cause she had such a lovely face |
|
Can't you see she needed more |
|
Than, "Oh, what a pretty child"? |
|
You never taught her truth from lie |
|
All you told her was to smile |
|
In Texas back in sixty-nine |
|
It was drive-in movies and dashboard lights |
|
Where is she now? |
|
The backseat |
|
Queen of fraternity |
|
Where is she now? |
|
She is heavy of thigh and light on integrity |
|
Someone should've told her |
|
When beauty's all you offer |
|
Too soon the world discovers that your |
|
Beauty's gone(It's gone ) |
|
In Texas back in sixty-nine |
|
It was drive-in movies and dashboard lights |
