Girls With Guitars
(Indisponível)
She turned fifteen with great expectations
Her older brother knew that something was up
He caught her going through his record collection
Looking at Hendrix like a lovesick pup
She begged and she pleaded till dad finally listened
He drove her in the car down to Sears Roebuck
He bought her that guitar and that was the beginning
Now she's down on the cellar with the amp turned up
Girls with guitars daddy's little angel
Girls with guitars what's the world coming to
Girls with guitars mothers tend to worry about girls with guitars
Well Saturday nights she followed her brother
It was socks and stockings on the old gym floor
While everybody danced to garage band covers
She was checking out riffs and memorizing chords
She didn't care at all for the football heroes
She didn't even notice basketball stars
Boys as a species were all a bunch of zeroes
Expect for the ones that played that guitar
Girls with guitars she wasn't any debutante
Girls with guitars she didn't go out for cheerleading
Girls with guitars boys are kind of nervous round girls with guitars
She went off to college she got her degree
Her parents breathed a sigh of great relief
Daddy's thinking law school mother's thinking medicine
Daughter's thinking how she's gonna break the news to them

Now there's an old Chevy van just sittin' on the driveway
Filled to the gills with all of her stuff
She cut a deal with her brother to drive it up the highway
Figures New York City is close enough
She gets the audition through a friend of a friend
Who's checking out her legs saying this will never work
She flips on her boogie and turns to the band
Gives a little grin and blows away the jerk
Girls with guitars now everybody's rockin'
Girls with guitars there ought to be a song about
Girls with guitars there's just no stopping those girls with guitars
Get your money for nothin' and your guys for free
