she was just 16 with a pack of cigarettes and a pawn shop ring
|
she wanted things to turn out like she'd seen on that silver screen
|
so she hit the road with her thumb in the air and a ring in her nose
|
she had a tattoo of a butterfly because that 's the way it goes when you don't know just which way the wind will blow
|
|
(chorus) hey girl where are you going to
|
say that you'll be the queen of heartbreak avenue
|
|
she met a boy out there with a silver el dorado and jet black hair
|
he had a tattoo of elvis so they took their clothes off to compare and well you know just how far these things can go
|
|
then the sun came shining bright and true love in the morning never feels like it did last night
|
he left a letter that said goodbye hold on tight
|
now he's gone so she'll just move along
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
(bridge)
|
|
so you say you don't know how your broken
|
dreams just drag you down
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
|
