Dairy Queen Lyrics by John Corbett

Leaving Nothin’ Behind

0

[Verse 1]
He was just a kid, barely seventeen
She was the best looking thing he'd ever seen
He got his old car running
He picked her up one night
And went flying down the highway
With half a tank and one headlight
[Verse 2]
He told her she was pretty, he told her that he cared
He told all the things a young girl wants to hear
She gave him a kiss, he gave her his high school ring
And they professed their love in front of Dairy Queen
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
But graduation came and life has to move along
Her daddy sent her off to college and he volunteered for Nam
She wed a doctor and moved to Austin
He came home a hero in a metal coffin
[Verse 4]
She talks to God sometimes, pray his soul be save
Calls his mom at Christmas, sends flowers to his grave
She keeps his memory close to her heart
And she hides that ring in an old money jar
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
She has no regrets, she loves her own man and kids
But there's a part of her that still belongs to him
And sometimes she gets sad and she daydreams
She hops in her car and goes to Dairy Queen
