She was born on a bumpy road
Her momma stayed at home
her daddy worked the boats
you only seldom saw him
When she’d cry into the night
Daddy turned off all the lights
He put a record on
and he held her in his arms

He came home from a month away
Supposed to fix the car
Took all the money he saved
and he bought her a guitar
Well she played the thing to death
till it was time to go to bed
She put a record on
and she held it in her arms
She held it in her arms
She held it in her arms

Her and her boyfriend met in school
They made themselves a band
Got themselves a deal
travelled across the land
After every show they played
In every bed they lay
She put a record on
and she held him in her arms
She held him in her arms
She held him in her arms

Now the band has come and gone
She teaches lessons in a music store
Ain’t like it wasn’t fun
She just couldn’t take it anymore
So she’s moving herself back home
Cause her boyfriend left her alone
She takes a picture of the band
and she burns it in her hand

So she went to the rock show
She won the tickets on the radio
She smoked a little dope
Bought the record and went on home
When she pulled up on the lawn
