lyrics

High on the hill where the flowers grow
Down in the valley of echoes
Kill for the limelight & bask in its glow
The power's on in the studio

The devil's child
In the land of angels
The will of the wild
Outmans the faithful

It's no wonder why country girls
Wind up in the city
When you're living in the kind of world
Without pity

Good thing you're pretty

You're a lucky star
LA's far from Texas
Valets sleep in gardens
Ballet of the sexists

It's no wonder why country girls
Wind up in the city
When you're living in the kind of world
Without pity

Thank God you're pretty

All you straighten will revert to curls
Broken by the brackish creek
Loosen up and give it a whirl
Backstroke by committee

My goose is cooked with just one look
The flight is booked, the fish is hooked
You made a promise to me
That you never meant to keep
