Ballad of a teenage queen lyrics

Artist  : Johnny cash 
Song : Ballad of a teenage queen
 



(Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl
we've ever seen)



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)



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)



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)
