JOHNNY CASH

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 seemed, 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 shining cars

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 will hear it all at the candy store.
