She was a girl from a one horse town,
|
The only place for miles around,
|
Cutting hair in the modern style,
|
Putting in the nine to five,
|
but, every night it was the same old dream,
|
On the cover of a magazine,
|
She, looked good but it could never come true,
|
'Cos nothing ever happens round here,
|
Nothing ever happens round here;
|
|
She had a boyfriend in the town,
|
He spent his days just messing around,
|
With stick shifts and steering wheels,
|
Motorbikes and automobiles,
|
And every night it was the same old thing,
|
Meet the boys for a couple of drinks,
|
Shoot pool and talk about girls,
|
And nothing ever happens round here,
|
Nothing ever happens round here;
|
|
They said nothing, no nothing,
|
Nothing ever happens round here,
|
Nothing, no nothing,
|
Nothing ever happens round here.
|
|
One day in a local bar,
|
She heard a movie man was looking for a star,
|
And everybody in the whole damn town,
|
Got the call to come on down,
|
And when she walked into the room,
|
Every heart went BOOM BOOM BOOM,
|
- Who's that girl?
|
She's exactly what were looking for,
|
But nothing ever happens round here,
|
Nothing ever happens round here;
|
|
They said nothing, no nothing,
|
Nothing ever happens round here,
|
Nothing, no nothing,
|
Nothing ever happens round here;
|
|
And so she took a screen test,
|
No doubt that she was the best,
|
The camera fell in love with her,
|
Before she knew it she was on the way to make that dream come true;
|
|
Now she's living in Hollywood,
|
And everything is looking good,
|
She thinks about the folks back home,
|
And her boyfriend all alone, but;
|
|
Every night it's still the same old thing,
|
Meet the boys for a couple of drinks,
|
Shoot pool and talk about girls,
|
And nothing ever happens round here,
|
Nothing ever happens round here,
|
|
They said nothing, no nothing,
|
Nothing ever happens round here,
|
Nothing, no nothing,
|
Nothing ever happens round here;
|
