Sister had a crystal voice   She played a Silvertone from Montgomery Ward   Baez songs in Monroe hair   She sure could turn the boys' heads to stare   Swim wear saunter, tan and haunt them   That's all she learned in school   Books were for the other girls   And the other girls were fools   In Texas back in sixty-nine   It was drive-in movies and dashboard lights      Father waltzed her down the aisle   'Cause college didn't suit her style   The sad truth was that she could barely read   But, if you'd told dear Father   He wouldn't believe you   The telephone rang it drove Mother insane   From the hearts left on the shelf   Sister's gone and she won't be home   'Cause she didn't take care of herself   In Texas back in sixty-nine   It was drive-in movies and dashboard lights      Where is she now?   The backseat Queen of fraternity   Where is she now?   She is heavy of thigh and light on integrity   Someone should've told her   When beauty's all you offer   Too soon the world discovers that your   Beauty's gone   (It's gone )      Mother can't you hear your daughter crying   Father wake up her youth is dying   Her kids are grown Husband's gone away   It's a shame 'cause she had such a lovely face   Can't you see she needed more   Than, "Oh, what a pretty child"?   You never taught her truth from lie   All you told her was to smile   In Texas back in sixty-nine   It was drive-in movies and dashboard lights      Where is she now?   The backseat Queen of fraternity   Where is she now?   She is heavy of thigh and light on integrity   Someone should've told her   When beauty's all you offer   Too soon the world discovers that your   Beauty's gone   (It's gone )      In Texas back in sixty-nine   It was drive-in movies and dashboard lights
