Girl With the Stratocaster

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Her daddy played lead, he's an old weekender Workin' that small-town sunburst Fender scene They say one day she up and left the farm With that Strat and her hat and her worn-out Carhartts on With one last look at the barrel horse in the barn [Chorus] Well, who's that girl with the Stratocaster Has anybody ever thought to ask her name She's playin' with some boys across the border With a western heart and a lonesome northern twang [Verse 2] I seen her one time in Oklahoma Looking all alone, 'bout as far from home as could be Thought for a second 'bout tryin' to approach her But she's looking for the one that'll help to rope her dreams And it turns out that it's tougher than it seems [Chorus] Well, who's that girl with the Stratocaster Has anybody ever thought to ask her name She's playin' with some boys across the border With a western heart and a lonesome northern twang [Verse 3] She stands at the back and she keeps on strummin' Believes in the rhythm and a better day comin' soon She ain't been home in a dozen seasons She's runnin' out of time for findin' reasons to And she's runnin' out of rhymes to put the music to
