	G	D
She ha	d a way with all the men in	her life

	A
every	inch of her blossomed in beauty

	G	D
and she	was born on the forth	of july

Well, she lived in an aluminum house trailer

and she worked in a juke-box saloon

and she spent all the money that i'd give her

just to see the ol' 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

------

well, we'd out on saturday evening

to the drive in on route fourty one

and it was there that I first suspected

that she was doin' what she'd already done

she said 'johnny would you get me some popcorn

and she knew i had to walk pretty far

and as soon as i walked through the moonlight

she hopped into a foreign sports car

CHORUS

Well, you know, i could'a beat up that fella

but it was her that hopped in to his car

many times as i'd fought to protect her

but this time she was going too far

Now some folks, they call me a coward

'cause i left her at the drive in that night

but i'd rather have names thrown at me

than to fight for a thing that aint right

CHORUS

now she writes all the fellas love letters

sayin' greetings, come and see me real soon

and they go and line up in the bar-room

to spend a night in that sick woman's room

But sometimes i get awful lonesome

and i wish she were my girl instead

but she won't let me live with her

and she makes me live in my head
