C C               F F
Sister had a crystal voice
C C F F
She played a Silvertone from Montgomery Ward
C C F F
Baez songs and Monroe hair
C C F F
She sure could turn the boy's heads to stare
Em Em Am Am
Swim wear saunter, tan and haunt them
F F G G
That's all she learned in school
Em Em Am Am
Books were for the other girls
F F G G
And the other girls were fools
F F G G
Texas back in '69
Am Am G G F F
Was drive-in movies and dashboard lights


C C F F
Father waltzed her down the aisle
C C F F
Cuz college didn't suit her style
C C F F
Sad truth was she could barely read
C C F F
But if you told poor father, well he wouldn't believe you
Em Em Am Am
The telephone rang drove Mother insane
F F G G
With the hearts left on the shelf
Em Em Am Am
Sister's gone and she won't be home
F F G G
Cuz she never took care of herself
F F G G
Texas back in '69
Am Am G G F F
Was drive in movies and dashboard lights


Chorus:
F F G G
Where is she now?
C C G G Am Am G G
The backseat queen of fraternity
F F G G
Where is she now?
C C G G Am Am G G
She's heavy of thigh and light on integrity
F F G G
Someone should have told her
C C G G Am Am
When beauty's all you offer
F F G G C C F F
Too soon the world discovers that your bueaty's gone
C C F F
(it's gone)


C C F F
Mother can't you hear your daughter crying
C C F F
Father wake up her youth is dying
C C F F
Her kids are grown...husband's gone away
C C F F
It's a shame cuz she had such a lovely face
Em Em Am Am
Can't you see she needed more
F F G G
Than "Oh, what a pretty child!"
Em Em Am Am
You never taught her truth from lie
F F G G
All you told her was to smile
F F G G
Texas back in '69
Am Am G G F F
Was drive in movies and dashboard lights


Chorus
