Ballad Of A Teenage Queen # 1 ('58) Lyrics & Tabs by Johnny Cash
Ballad Of A Teenage Queen # 1 ('58)
guitar chords lyrics
There's a story in our town
Of the prettiest girl around
Golden hair and eyes of blue
How those eyes could flash at you
(How those eyes could flash at you)
Boys hung 'round her by the score
But she loved the boy next door
Who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen, prettiest girl we've ever seen)
She was queen of the senior prom
She could cook just like her mom
She had everything at sea
Pure delight, this teenage queen
(Pure delight, this teenage queen)
Other boys could offer more
Pure delight, this teenage queen
(Pure delight, this teenage queen)
Other boys could offer more
But she loved the boy next door
Who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen, you should be a movie queen)
He would marry her next spring
Saved his money, bought a ring
Then one day, a movie scout
Came to town to take her out
(Came to town to take her out)
Hollywood could offer more
So she left the boy next door
Who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen, see you on the movie screen)
Very soon she was a star
Pretty house and shiny cars
Swimming pool and a fence around
But she missed her old home town
(But she missed her old home town)
All the world was at her door
All except the boy next door
Who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen, saddest girl we've ever seen)
Then one day this teenage star
Sold her house and all her cars
Gave up all her wealth and fame
Left it all and caught a train
(Left it all and caught a train)
Next day, she was at the door
Of the lonely boy next door
Who works at the candy store
(Now this story has some more, you'll hear it all at the candy store)
