He was just a kid Barely seventeen He was the bestlookin thing youd ever seen Got his old car runnin He picked her up one night Went flying down the highway With half a tank and one headlight Told her she was pretty Told her that he cared Told her all the things That a young girl wants to hear She gave him a kiss Gave her his high school ring They professed their love In front of the Dairy Queen Graduation came Life has to move along Daddy sent her off to college And he volunteered for Nam She wed a doctor And moved to Austin He came home a hero With a medal in a coffin She talks to God sometimes Pray his soul to save Calls his mama, Christmas Sends flowers to his grave She keeps his memory Close to her heart She has his ring In an old money jar She has no regrets Loves her old man and kids But theres a part of her That belonged to him And sometimes she gets sad And she daydreams She hops in her car And goes to Dairy QueenYou might also like
