Yellow Haired Girl

She was a yellow haired girl on a weekend night at the Dairy Queen
With her boyfriend Billy, on the hood of his truck
Watching cars with his hand on her knee
She’d take turns snapping her gum and sipping her shake
She’d say, “Baby I know that you’ve got what it takes.
You’re gonna go far, you’re gonna be a rock and roll star.”
Billy traded his John Deere tractor for a Marshall amp and a brand new Fender guitar
He’s gonna go far, he’s gonna be a rock and roll star

Now she’s sittin’ in a booth at the back of some joint off of State Road 41
Billy’s got a gig and some record label big wigs from down in Austin are gonna come
And she’s all dolled up drinking a long neck beer
Everybody’s dancing, it’s oh so clear
He’s gonna go far, he’s gonna be a rock and roll star

Ah, Ah Rock-n-roll...

Billy’s on his knee with the shiny diamond ring he bought with record label cash
Yeah, they’re the king and queen of the Austin music scene, and it’s all happening really fast
And she’s standing at the door like so many days before
Cause Billy’s heading out on another month long tour
He’s gonna go far, he’s gonna be a rock and roll star

Now Billy’s always trashed and smoking some kind of hash in his phone calls from the road
And she’s fed up with this rock and roll life, it’s like a Behind the Music episode
And she’s packing her bags, she’s gonna head back home
On the kitchen table she leaves him a note
“You’ve really gone far, Billy you’re a rock and roll star”
