[Verse]
CSister had a cryFstal voice
She played a CSilvertone from MFontgomery Ward
CBaez songs and FMonroe hair
She sCure could turn the boy's hFeads to stare
SwEmim wear saunter tAman and haunt them
That's aFll she learned in Gschool
EmBooks were for the oAmther girls
And the otFher girls were fGools
FTexas back in 'G 9
Was drAmive-in moGvies and dashbFoard lights
CFather waltzed her doFwn the aisle
Cuz cCollege didn't sFuit her style
CSad truth was she could bFarely read
But if you tCold poor father well he woFuldn't believe you
The teEmlephone rang drove MAmother insane
With the hFearts left on the Gshelf
SistEmer's gone and she woAmn't be home
Cuz she neFver took care of hGerself
FTexas back inG ' 9
Was drAmive in moGvies and dashboFard lights
[Chorus]
FWhere is she Gnow
The bCackseat qGueen of fAmraternity G
FWhere is sheG now
She's hCeavy of tGhigh and Amlight on inteGgrity
FSomeone should have Gtold her
When beaCuty's Gall you offAmer
Too sFoon the world Gdiscovers that your bueaty'sC gone F
Cit's gone F
CMother can't you hear your Fdaughter crying
CFather wake up her yFouth is dying
Her Ckids are grown husband's goFne away
It's a sChame cuz she had such a Flovely face
EmCan't you see she neAmeded more
Than OFh what a pretty chGild
EmYou never taught her tAmruth from lie
All you Ftold her was to sGmile
FTexas back in 'G 9
Was drAmive in moGvies and dashFboard lights
