She's sitting right there on the chain link fence She's down at the park with the rest of her friends And she looks so pretty, but she's only sixteen Didn't know that when she smiled at me Now the boys are hunched over with their electric guitars I'm lying in the gra** beside my car Follow her down to the Dixie freeze Now hold on, hold on, hold on to me Sweet girl, don't let go for the world 'cause I'm not from here and I'm afraid that I might never see you again Now it's the end of the summer and I'm just twenty one I've been in California for the last two months And there weren't no girls like her down there Her boyfriend don't like me and I think that's fair 'cause I'm sitting right here on a chain link fence When she smiles at me I'm going to take my chance I'll say 'i know the show's over, I wish you wouldn't leave Hold on, hold on, hold on to me' Sweet girl, don't let go for the world 'cause I'm not from here and I'm afraid that I might never see you again
