Girls With Guitars Lyrics - Singles - Judd Wynonna

Words and Music by Mary-Chapin Carpenter 

She turn fifteen with great expectations 

Her older brother knew somethin' was up 

He caught her goin' through his record collection 

Lookin' at Hendricks like a love sick pup 

She begged and she pleaded 'till dad fin'lly listened 

He drove her in the car down to sears roebuck 

He bought her that guitar and that was the beginning 

Now she's down in the cellar with the amp turned up 

Girls with guitars, Daddy's little angel 

Girls with guitars, what's the world comin' to 

Girls with guitars, mothers tend to worry 'bout girls with guitars 

Well, Saturday night she followed her brother 

It was socks and stockin's on the old gym floor 

While everybody danced to garage band covers 

She was checking out riffs and memorizin' chords 

She didn't care at all for the football heroes 

She didn't even notice the basketball stars 

Boys as a species were all a bunch of zero's 

except for the ones who played that guitar 

Ah, girls with guitars, she wasn't any debutante 

Girls with guitars, she didn't go out for cheerleading 

Girls with guitars, boys are kinda nervous 'round girls with guitars 

She went off to college , she got her degree 

Her parents breathed a sigh of great relief 

Daddy's thinkin' law school, mother's thinking medicine 

Daughters thinking how she's gonna break the news to them 

Now there's an old chevy van just sittin' in the driveway 

Filled to the gills with all her stuff 

She cut a deal with her brother to drive up the highway 

Figures New York City is close enough 

She gets the audition through a friend of a friend 

Who's checkin' out her legs, sayin', This'll never work 

She flips on her boogie and turns to the band 

Gives a little grin and blows away the jerk 

Girls with guitars, now everybody's rockin' 

Girls with guitars, there ought to be a song about girls with guitars 

There's just no stoppin' those girls with guitars 

Get your money for nothin' and your guys for free
