She was leaning long legged
'neath a bottle cap sign
Of a country store with a coke and a smile
the coolest place to linger
on an Arkansas day
when she saw him passing by
He said "I'll take you back to Texas"
Said "my name is Ray"
where the stars are bigger than the Hit Parade
And she stopped dreamin' her dream
and she started dreamin' his
Traded in her childhood
She wore flowered dresses for him
Rolled her hair, scrubbed her freckled skin
On the chance that they were goin' out tonight
Catch a show, maybe grab a bite
and she looked real nice, She looked real nice
Verse
and she looked real nice, She looked real nice
