verse:
CYou're a broken-hearted pGarty girl
FYour skirt's on fire, yGour hair's uncurled
A#5Your dancing days are aFt an end
CYeah, you've got no one tGo call your friend
CAll you've got left Gis a silhouette,
FAn empty bed, and a cGheap Corvette
A#5You're a long way from yFour sweet sixteen
CYou need some stonewashed jeans
GAnd a time machine
chorus:
Dm/F#
To take you back
GTo that railroad track
CWhere you first took flight
FIn the morning A#5light
Dm/F#
So take me back
GTo that first romance
CWhere you made your stand
FYou were hand inA#5 hand
GmWith the black-eyed C5angel of the D#5evening star
When you came to the city in your cheap perfume
And your ran through the room
But you grew up soon
Always dressed like a killer in the afternoon
Sipping warm champagne from a silver spoon
In the night you would travel in your lover's car
With your jewels so bright, like a shooting star
But your nightmares must have caught up with you
And all the pills and the prophets couldn't get you through
To take you back
To that railroad track
Where you first took flight
In the morning light
So take me back
To that first romance
Where you made your stand
You were hand in hand
With the black-eyed angel of the evening star
So take me back
You were found on the ground in a lonely town
At the end of the world, in a dressing gown
Your hair was on fire, your shoes were misplaced
On your face was a trace of a distant place
It's a long way home to Wichita
Where they put you back together
Filled your head with straw
Now all you've got left is a silhouette
And a cheap Corvette, but girl, you ain't dead yet
So take me back
To that railroad track
Where you first took flight
In the morning light
So take me back
To that first romance
Where you made your stand
You were hand in hand
With the black-eyed angel of the evening star
