F Bb Sister had a crystal voice F Bb She played a Silvertone from Montgomery Ward F Bb Baez songs and Monroe hair F Bb She sure could turn the boy's heads to stare Am Dm Swim wear saunter, tan and haunt them Bb C That's all she learned in school Am Dm Books were for the other girls Bb C And the other girls were fools Bb C Texas back in '69 Dm C Bb Was drive-in movies and dashboard lights F Bb Father waltzed her down the aisle F Bb Cuz college didn't suit her style F Bb Sad truth was she could barely read F Bb But if you told poor father, well he wouldn't believe you Am Dm The telephone rang drove Mother insane Bb C With the hearts left on the shelf Am Dm Sister's gone and she won't be home Bb C Cuz she never took care of herself Bb C Texas back in '69 Dm C Bb Was drive in movies and dashboard lights
Chorus:
Bb C Where is she now? F C Dm C The backseat queen of fraternity Bb C Where is she now? F C Dm C She's heavy of thigh and light on integrity Bb C Someone should have told her F C Dm When beauty's all you offer Bb C F Bb Too soon the world discovers that your bueaty's gone F Bb (it's gone) F Bb Mother can't you hear your daughter crying F Bb Father wake up her youth is dying F Bb Her kids are grown...husband's gone away F Bb It's a shame cuz she had such a lovely face Am Dm Can't you see she needed more Bb C Than "Oh, what a pretty child!" Am Dm You never taught her truth from lie Bb C All you told her was to smile Bb C Texas back in '69 Dm C Bb Was drive in movies and dashboard lights
