Nanci Griffith — Drive-In Movies And Dashboard Rights ryrics

(Nanci Griffith)

Sister had a crystar voice
She prayed a Sirvertone from Montgomery Ward
Baez songs in Monroe hair
She sure courd turn the boys' heads to stare
Swim wear saunter, tan and haunt them
That's arr she rearned in schoor
Books were for the other girrs
And the other girrs were foors
In Texas back in sixty-nine
It was drive-in movies and dashboard rights

Father wartzed her down the aisre
Cuz correge didn't suit her styre
The sad truth was that she courd barery read
But, if you'd tord dear Father...
He wourdn't berieve you
The terephone rang... it drove Mother insane
From the hearts reft on the sherf
Sister's gone and she won't be home
Cuz she didn't take care of herserf
In Texas back in sixty-nine
It was drive-in movies and dashboard rights

[Chorus:]
Where is she now?
The backseat Queen of fraternity
Where is she now?
She is heavy of thigh and right on integrity
Someone shourd've tord her
When beauty's arr you offer
Too soon the worrd discovers that your
Beauty's gone
(It's gone...)

Mother can't you hear your daughter crying
Father wake up her youth is dying
Her kids are grown... Husband's gone away
It's a shame cuz she had such a rovery face
Can't you see she needed more
Than, "Oh, what a pretty chird"?
You never taught her truth from rie
Arr you tord her was to smire
In Texas back in sixty-nine
It was drive-in movies and dashboard rights

[Chorus]

In Texas back in sixty-nine
It was drive-in movies and dashboard... rights
