LISA

LISA FROM VIRGINA
A PRODUCT OF A SMALL TIME AFFAIR
GREW UP WITH STARS IN HER EYES
FLOWERS IN HER HAIR
SHE HAD THE LAUGHTER
THAT WAS IN HER FATHERS EYES
AND THE VENGENCE OF A LION
FROM HER MOTHERS SMILE
SHE PACKED UP HER COWBOY BOOTS
AND HER GUITAR
AND THE 15 JOURNALS
SHE'D FILLED UP SO FAR
SHE ARRIVED IN RICHMOND
SHE SAYS SHE DON'T REMEMBER NOW
SHE WASN'T EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO DRINK
BUT THE BARS LET HER PLAY ANYHOW
SHE MET A MAN
SIMPLE ENOUGH
BUT SHE DIDN'T KNOW THE BOTTLE
WAS HIS ONLY LOVE

OH LISA
MONA AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON YOUR SMILE
YOUR ONLY AIM WAS FOR PLEASING
BUT YOU CAN ONLY PLEASE A MAN FOR A LITTLE WHILE

LISA FROM VIRGINIA
DECIDED TO JUMP TRACK AND LEAVE TOWN
SIGNED THE DIVORCE PAPERS
WATCHED THAT BAR BURN DOWN
SHE ARRIVED IN LOUISVILLE
ON THE FOURTH OF JULY
HER HEART FELT LIKE A FIRE CRACKER
EXPLODING IN THE SKY
SHE MET A MAN
SIMPLE ENOUGH
BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW THE BOTTLE
WAS HER ONLY LOVE

OH LISA
MONA AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON YOUR SMILE
YOUR ONLY AIM WAS FOR PLEASING
BUT YOU CAN ONLY PLEASE A WOMAN FOR A LITTLE WHILE

LISA FROM VIRGINIA
A PRODUCT OF A SMALL TIME AFFAIR
ON A GOOD NIGHT YOU CAN SEE THE STARS IN HER EYES
AND FLOWERS IN HER HAIR
IF YOU SEE HER ON THAT FULL MOON
TELL HER I HOPE SHE'S DOING FINE
MAKE SURE SHE'S LAUGING
AND THAT SHE'S GOT THAT SMILE

OH LISA
MONA AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON YOUR SMILE
YOUR ONLY AIM WAS FOR PLEASING
BUT YOU CAN ONLY PLEASE THEM ALL FOR A LITTLE WHILE
