Drive-In Movies And Dashboard Lights (Album Version) - Nanci Griffith[00:00:00]
Sister had a crystal voice[00:00:06]
She played a Silvertone from Montgomery Ward[00:00:08]
Baez songs in Monroe hair[00:00:12]
She sure could turn the boys' head to stare[00:00:14]
Swim wear saunter tan and haunt them[00:00:17]
That's all she learned in school[00:00:20]
Books were for other girls[00:00:23]
And the other girls were fools[00:00:25]
In Texas back in sixty-nine[00:00:29]
It was drive-in movies and dashboard lights[00:00:31]
Father waltzed her down the aisle[00:00:44]
'Cause college didn't suit her style[00:00:47]
The sad truth was that she could barely read[00:00:50]
But if you told dear Father[00:00:52]
He wouldn't believe you[00:00:54]
The telephone rang it drove Mother insane[00:00:55]
From the hearts left on the shelf[00:00:58]
Sister's gone and she won't be home[00:01:01]
'Cause she didn't take care of herself[00:01:03]
In Texas back in sixty-nine[00:01:07]
It was drive-in movies and dashboard lights[00:01:09]
Where is she now [00:01:17]
The backseat Queen of fraternity[00:01:19]
Where is she now [00:01:22]
She is heavy of thigh and light on integrity[00:01:24]
Someone should've told her[00:01:28]
When beauty's all you offer[00:01:30]
Too soon the world's discover that your beauty's gone[00:01:33]
(It's gone)[00:01:39]
Mother can't you hear your daughter carying[00:01:42]
Father wake up her youth is dying[00:01:47]
Her kids are grown husband's gone away[00:01:53]
It's shame 'cause she had such a lovely face[00:01:58]
Can't you see she need more[00:02:04]
Than "Oh what a pretty child" [00:02:07]
You never taught her truth from lie[00:02:10]
All you told her was to smile[00:02:12]
In Texas back in sixty-nine[00:02:16]
It was drive-in movies and dashboard lights[00:02:18]
Where is she now [00:02:26]
The backseat Queen of fraternity[00:02:28]
Where is she now [00:02:31]
She is heavy of thigh and light on integrity[00:02:33]
Someone should've told her[00:02:37]
When beauty's all you offer[00:02:39]
Too soon the world's discover that your beauty's gone[00:02:42]
(It's gone)[00:02:47]
In Texas back in sixty-nine[00:02:51]
It was drive-in movies and dashboard lights[00:02:53]
