And they say that she once was a winner
In a contest

And they say that she once cut a record
They played it for a week or so
On the local radio
It never made it

[G] She wanted [F] to be Betty [C] Grable
[Am] But now she [D] sits there at that [G] beer stained [G7] table
[E] Dreaming of the things she [Am] never got to [F] do
All those [D7] dreams that [G7] never came [C] true
