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