Drive in Movies and Dashboard Lights
Words and music by Nanci Griffith
As performed on her album "Storms"
Note: this is as Nanci spelled things on the album...no flames about
my spelling of the word "cuz"!!! :)
F Bb
Sister had a crystal voice
F Bb
She played a Silvertone from Montgomery Ward
F Bb
Baez songs and Monroe hair
F Bb
She sure could turn the boy's heads to stare
Am Dm
Swim wear saunter, tan and haunt them
Bb C
That's all she learned in school
Am Dm
Books were for the other girls
Bb C
And the other girls were fools
Bb C
Texas back in '69
Dm C Bb
Was drive-in movies and dashboard lights
F Bb
Father waltzed her down the aisle
F Bb
Cuz college didn't suit her style
F Bb
Sad truth was she could barely read
F Bb
But if you told poor father, well he wouldn't believe you
Am Dm
The telephone rang drove Mother insane
Bb C
With the hearts left on the shelf
Am Dm
Sister's gone and she won't be home
Bb C
Cuz she never took care of herself
Bb C
Texas back in '69
Dm C Bb
Was drive in movies and dashboard lights
Chorus:
Bb C
Where is she now?
F C Dm C
The backseat queen of fraternity
Bb C
Where is she now?
F C Dm C
She's heavy of thigh and light on integrity
Bb C
Someone should have told her
F C Dm
When beauty's all you offer
Bb C F Bb
Too soon the world discovers that your bueaty's gone
F Bb
(it's gone)
F Bb
Mother can't you hear your daughter crying
F Bb
Father wake up her youth is dying
F Bb
Her kids are grown...husband's gone away
F Bb
It's a shame cuz she had such a lovely face
Am Dm
Can't you see she needed more
Bb C
Than "Oh, what a pretty child!"
Am Dm
You never taught her truth from lie
Bb C
All you told her was to smile
Bb C
Texas back in '69
Dm C Bb
Was drive in movies and dashboard lights
Chorus
