8 BAR INTRO

I KNEW A GIRL
WHO WAS ALMOST
A LADY
SHE HAD A WAY
&#39;xNITH ALL THE MEN
IN HER LIFE

EVERY INCH OF HER
BLUSSOMED
IN BEAUTY
SHE WAS BORN ON
THE FOURTH OF JULY

AND SHE SPENT ALL
THE MONEY
THAT I GIVE HER
JUST TO SEE
THE OLD MAN IN
THE MOON

I USED TO SLEEP AT
THE FOOT OF OLD GLORY
AND AWAKE IN
THE DAWNS EARLY LIGHT

BUT MUCH TO MY
SURPRISE
WHEN I OPENED MY EYES
I WAS A VICTIM
OF THE GREAT
COMPROMISE

WELL WE&#39;D GO OUT
ON SATURDAY EVENINGS
TO THE DRIVE-IN
0N ROUTE FORTY-ONE

AND IT WAS THERE
THAT I FIRST SUSPECTED
THAT SHE WAS DOIN&#39;
WHAT SHED ALREADY
DONE

SHE SAID JOHNNY
WON&#39;T YOU GET ME
SOME POPCORN
f-kND SHE KNEWI
HAD TO WALK
PRETTY FAR

AND AS SOON AS
I PASSED THROUGH
THE MOONLIGHT
SHE HOPPED INTO
A FOREIGN SPORTS CAR

I USED TO SLEEP AT
THE FOOT OF OLD GLORY
AND AWAKE IN
THE DAWNS EARLY LIGHT

BUT MUCH TO MY
SURPRISE
WHEN I OPENED MY EYES
I WAS A VICTIM
OF THE GREAT
COMPROMISE

BUT IT WAS HER
THAT HAD HOPPED
INTO HIS CAR

AND MANY TIMES
I&#39;D FOUGHT
TO PROTECT HER
BUT THIS TIME
SHE WAS GOIN&#39; T00 FAR

NOW SOME FOLKS
THEY CALL ME
A COWARD
&#39;CAUSE I LEFT HER
AT THE DRIVE-IN
THAT NIGHT

g

BUT I&#39;D DRUTHER
HAVE NAMES
THROWN AT ME
THAN TO FIGHT FOR
A THING
THAT AIN&#39;T RIGHT

I USED TO SLEEP AT
THE FOOT OF OLD GLORY
AND AWAKE IN
THE DAWNS EARLY LIGHT

BUT MUCH TO MY
SURPRISE
WHEN I OPENED MY EYES
I WAS A VICTIM

AND THEY GO
AND LINE UP IN
THE BARROOM
AND SPEND THE NIGHT IN
THAT SICK WOMAN&#39;S
ROOM

BUT SOMETIMES
I GET AWFUL LONESOME
AND I WISH SHE
WAS MY GIRL INSTEAD
