Crown Of Jewels

Lyrics

She came from the backwoods
 Bright teeth, stylish hair
 Good fortune and everyone's smiles
 Followed her everywhere
 Had a taste for the good life
 Had some stars in her eyes
 Thought she would have it all
 Once her name was in lights
 Hey, hey, little Miss Jane
 Sunny day turned to hard rain
 Traded in your evening gown
 For a jumpsuit of pain
 The beauty queen and the wallflower
 Feel the same in their darkest hours
 All watch as the crown of jewels
 Falls from the old guard tower
 She walked down the runway
 A crown of jewels she wore
 Applause and lights, but at the end of the night
 She was the first out the door
 Drove all night at high speed
 Arrived in the early day light
 Flash of a knife, a nice evening dress
 Couldn't change her man's mind
 Hey, hey, little Miss Jane
 Sunny day turned to hard rain
 Traded in your evening gown
 For a jumpsuit of pain
 The beauty queen and the wallflower
 Feel the same in their darkest hours
 All watch as the crown of jewels
 Falls from the old guard tower
 Stage moms and hair-sprayed charms
 No one there could have sounded an alarm
 I don't know why you think it's so strange
 Any kind of act is within anyone's range
 Hey, hey, little Miss Jane
 Sunny day turned to hard rain
 Traded in your evening gown
 For a jumpsuit of pain
 The beauty queen and the wallflower
 Feel the same in their darkest hours
 All watch as the crown of jewels
 Falls from the old guard tower
