"DIME STORE VIRGIN"
First, a dime store virgin,
Now, a honky tonk queen.
Through her teenage years in high school
She played the game by her mama's rules;
No young man ever made her out a fool.
Then she got a job at a Woolworth store;
Small-town wages, room and board,
'Til some silver-tongued drifter
Showed her so much more.
Now her days and nights are all mixed up,
She goes to bed when the sun comes up.
Her work day starts when the band begins to play.
She's heard every line and every scheme;
The smile she wears is make believe;
Just a small-town girl in search of love she needs.
Once, a dime store virgin,
Now, a honky tonk queen,
She's had her ups and downs
And, now, she's caught there in-between,
In a life of neon fantasy
And smokey, broken dreams;
Once, a dime store virgin,
Now, a honky tonk queen.
She seldom calls her folks back home
Because they don't approve what she' become,
But, the cowboys on the dance floor
Love the way she moves.
She quickly learned where the last dance leads;
She hates this life, but she's afraid to leave;
She prays some day she'll find the love she needs.
Once, a dime store virgin,
Now, a honky tonk queen,
She's had her ups and downs
And, now, she's caught there in-between,
In a life of neon fantasy
And smokey, broken dreams;
Once, a dime store virgin,
Now, a honky tonk queen.
First, a dime store virgin,
Now, a honky tonk queen.
