At the corner of the general store. sat a girl with golden hair
With an ice cream cone drippin' down her wrist
She didn't have a single care. at the filling station across the way
Worked a boy whose eye she caught
And before you know it she was wearing the ring
That the young boy's money had bought. everyone said that they'd be sweethearts
But she had plans of her own. she said one day she'd go far away
She ain't never comin' home. well she had hopes and she had dreams
Oh lord will they ever come true. she played them off like silly whims
But deep down inside she knew. one day she'd be the talk of the town
The apple of everyone's eye
But the boy still thought that they'd be lovers until the day they died
Oh so in love. but somethin' must go wrong
A sharp dressed man from the bright light city came and sang his city song
She packed her bags. said no goodbyes. it broke the you boy's heart
But no small town can hold this girl. and she knew it from the start
