 JOHNNY CASH - Ballad Of A Teenage Queen Lyrics

[Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever seen]

15o15122o15111320noo22.
There's a story in our town
Of the prettiest girl around
Golden hair and eyes of blue
How those eyes could flash at you [How those eyes could flash at you]
Boys hung 'round her by the score
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
[Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever seen]

15o15122o15111320noo22.
She was tops in all they said
It never once went to her head
She had everything it seems
Not a care, this teenage queen [Not a care, this teenage queen]
Other boys could offer more
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
[Dream on, dream on teenage queen you should be a movie queen]

He would marry her next spring
Saved his money, bought a ring
Then one day a movie scout
Came to town to take her out [Came to town to take her out]
Hollywood could offer more
So she left the boy next door working at the candy store
[Dream on, dream on teenage queen see you on the movie screen]

Very soon she was a star
Pretty house and shiny car
Swimming pool and a fence around
But she missed her old home town [But she missed her old home town]
All the world was at her door
All except the boy next door who worked at the candy store
[Dream on, dream on teenage queen saddest girl we've ever seen]

15o15122o15111320noo22.
Then one day the teenage star
Sold her house and all her cars
Gave up all her wealth and fame
Left it all and caught a train [Left it all and caught a train]
Do I have to tell you more
She came back to the boy next door who worked at the candy store

[Now this story has some more, you'll hear it all at the candy store]
