she met a boy out there with a silver el dorado and jet black hair
he had a tattoo of elvis so they took their clothes off to compare and well you know
how far these things can go
then the sun came shining bright and true love in the morning never feels like it did
night
he left a letter that said goodbye hold on tight
now he's gone so she'll just move along
(chorus)
(bridge)
C Em

A D C
your broken dreams just drag you down RIFF 3
