THE PRETTIEST GIRL OF ALL TIME
The prettiest girl of all time
She’s a-layin’ in her room
Blowin’ smoke rings at her ceiling fan
Just like we used to do
And she’s cleaned up all the trash
Dumped out all my wine
Thrown out those Fellini films
That wasted all her time
And she never wants to see me again
And well I don’t guess that she ever will
She was holdin’ out, waitin’ to begin
The prettiest girl, my friends, of all time
Well she wasn’t always proud
But she’d never ask to borrow
And how she made her way sometimes
No, she don’t talk about
And I can’t forget the day
That she walked down Messer’s Run
With a gold key for the city and
A new man on her arm
And I never want to see her again
And well I don’t guess that I ever will
I was holdin’ on, waitin’ to begin
The prettiest girl, my friends, of all time
She don’t need a reason why
She’ll cut you and she’ll cry
Bound to all the roadblocks in your mind
The prettiest girl of all time
Well she came down with a fever
Not long enough to say goodbye
But long enough to pass
And so we gathered all her friends
And we scattered her ashes
From a southern hill out on the breeze
Where her thoughts used to play
And she never wants to see me again
And well I don’t guess that she ever will
We were holdin’ out, waitin’ to begin
The prettiest girl, my friends, of all time
