Song Description

a girl grows up learning the ropes and having a good time with her friends

Lyrics

Beautiful and Tall

a girl is tucked inside her pretty bed
the memory of childhood lies not far beneath her head
perfume pillows and pictures on the wall
and all else in the room stands beautiful and tall

verse 2
there?s a split up with the family and the girl stays home with mom
she tells the girl that daddy?s done and gone
and the girl forgets what self?worth is and tries to please them all
but with each attempt she loses faith in being beautiful and tall

chorus
and she says, ?let?s get out of town tonight
let?s wear formal gowns and spend a bit too much tonight
let?s throw back and have a laugh
let?s talk debutante and gossip ?bout the loves that didn?t last?

verse 2
she?s got lots of lonely lovers hanging ?round her lovely necklace
and they?re all such pretty boys
?can i take you for a ride in my backseat?
well, i?m sorry darlin, but if you can?t play that game then you best get back off the street?
and she says...

chorus

bridge
and she?s a pretty darlin?
and she?s never gonna be the same
she doesn?t even recall his name anymore

verse 3
so the girl is but a figment of her mind
the pillow still remains another memory of her time
and the photos faded despite their wooden frames
a tiredness surrounds her brittle bones but the beauty still remains
