Lyrics
I met a girl from Texas, she said her name was Maureen
She said she liked to drink vodka, and she was seventeen
She told me that I looked like the man in her dream
She said she knew what goes on in between
She said she gonna make a million bucks, she gonna be a star
She said that she could sing real good, she got her daddy's car
She said you come and ride with me, I'm going straight to the top
She said you come and fly with me,
You'll never want to get off
I guess that's how it started, I should've turned away
But I was drunk and smiling so we headed for LA
We got to San Fransisco, we played a couple of bars
I guess she sort of lost herself amid the smoke and guitars
She said that she had made some friends and they could shoot the stars
She said that they could take her places and not to take it so hard
I said it don't matter to me, I'll do just as well
And I know all about your friends, they'll take you straight to hell
They found a girl from Texas, they said her name was Maureen
They said that by their best guess she was maybe seventeen
It wasn't in the papers, it happens all of the time
Some kid don't know where the boundaries are and they end up crossing the line
I won't forget that girl real soon, she really had a shot
But she was just a stupid kid, she looked for what she got
I wouldn't ask if I was you what goes on in between
But if you really want to know, go ask my sweet Maureen
