Sister had a crystal voice She played a Silvertone from Montgomery Ward Baez songs in Monroe hair She sure could turn the boys' heads to stare Swim wear saunter, tan and haunt them That's all she learned in school Books were for the other girls And the other girls were fools In Texas back in sixty-nine It was drive-in movies and dashboard lights Father waltzed her down the aisle Cuz college didn't suit her style The sad truth was that she could barely read But, if you'd told dear Father... He wouldn't believe you The telephone rang... it drove Mother insane From the hearts left on the shelf Sister's gone and she won't be home Cuz she didn't take care of herself In Texas back in sixty-nine It was drive-in movies and dashboard lights [Chorus:] Where is she now? The backseat Queen of fraternity Letras de cancionesWhere is she now? She is heavy of thigh and light on integrity Someone should've told her When beauty's all you offer Too soon the world discovers that your Beauty's gone (It's gone...) Mother can't you hear your daughter crying Father wake up her youth is dying Her kids are grown... Husband's gone away It's a shame cuz she had such a lovely face Can't you see she needed more Than, "Oh, what a pretty child"? You never taught her truth from lie All you told her was to smile In Texas back in sixty-nine It was drive-in movies and dashboard lights [Chorus] In Texas back in sixty-nine It was drive-in movies and dashboard... lights From Letras Mania
