Girls With Guitars

She turned fifteen with great expectations
 Her older brother knew that somethin' was up
 He caught her going through his record collection
 Lookin' at Hendrix like a lovesick pup
 She begged and she pleaded till Dad finally listened
 He drove in the car down to Sears Roebuck
 He bought her that guitar and that was the beginning
 Now she's down in the cellar with the amp turned up
 Girls with guitars
 (Daddy's little angel)
 Girls with guitars
 (What's the world coming to)
 Girls with guitars
 (Mothers tend to worry about)
 Girls with guitars
 Well, Saturday nights she followed her brother
 It was socks and stockings on the old gym floor
 While everybody danced to garage band covers
 She was checking out riffs and memorizing chords
 She didn't care at all for the football heroes
 She didn't even notice the basketball stars
 Boys as a species were all a bunch of zeros
 Except for the ones that played that guitar
 Girls with guitars
 (She wasn't any debutante)
 Girls with guitars
 (She didn't go out for cheer leading)
 Girls with guitars
 (Boys are kind of nervous 'round)
 Girls with guitars
 She went off to college, she got her degree
 Her parents breathed a sigh of great relief
 Daddy's thinking law school, mother's thinking medicine
 Daughter's thinking how she gonna break the news to them
 Now there's an old Chevy van just sitting in the driveway
 Filled to the gills with all of her stuff
 She cut a deal with her brother to drive it up the highway
 She figures New York City is close enough
 She gets the audition through a friend of a friend
 Who's checking out her legs, saying this will never work
 She flips on her boogie and turns to the band
 Gives a little grin and blows away the jerk
 Girls with guitars
 (Now everybody's rockin')
 Girls with guitars
 (There ought to be a song about)
 Girls with guitars
 (There's just no stopping those)
 Girls with guitars
