She was a pretty young thing with a heart of goldand she was always staring at the sky.She worked the late-night shift in a downtown barwhere drunken fools would undress her with their eyes.He was a hotshot son, his smile a loaded gunthat always made the girls fall at his feet.He walked inside and noticed her right awayknew she's the girl he'd been dying to meet.And he said: 'Honey, this ain't no place for you!They should be building palaces, razing kingdoms for you,and I don't know if it's the shots or the barroom light,but you look lovely as a dream tonighteither that or you're the Queen of hearts.''I listened to all them love songs that my mamma sangnever thought that it'd be like this.you swept me away, left without words to saywhen, baby, you first leaned in for that kiss.''I thought I knew a lot about love and lifefrom all those gals I used to drive.But they were just fun, just a practice runso I could love you better when you arrive.'
