D A little girl who was almost a lady G D had a way with all the men in her life A every inch of her blosoms in beauty G D she was born on the forth of july And she lived in an aluminum house trailer and she worked in a juke-box saloon and she spent all the money iʼd give her just to see the olʼ man in the moon Chorus: D I used to sleep at the foot of old glory G D and awake in the dawns early light G D but much to my surprise when i opened my eyes A D i was a victim of the great compromise We used to go out on saturday evening to the drive in on route fourty one and it was there that I first discovered she was doinʼ what sheʼd already done She said ʼjohny would you get me some popcorn and she knew i had to walk pretty far and as soon as i walked through the moonlight sheʼd hopped into a foreign sports car Chorus. And you know, i couldʼa beat up that fella but it was her that hopped in to his car as many times as iʼd fought to protect her well this time sheʼd gone too far And some folks call me a coward ʼcause i left her at the drive in that night but iʼd rather have names thrown at me than to fight for a thing that aint right Chorus. Now she writes all the fellas love letters sayinʼ please come and see me real soon and thereʼs a growinʼ line up in the bar-room to spend a night in that sick womans room And sometimes i get awful lonesome and i wish she were my girl instead but she wonʼt let me live with her she makes me live in my head Chorus.
