Girl With the Stratocaster
[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
