Adventures Of Linda Bohannon Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

In a town about the size of a truck-stop or bigger 

Lived Linda Bohannon, a natural queen 

She lived with her folks in a little white farmhouse 

She helped out by hoeing the corn and the beans 

Sometimes she would stare at herself in a mirror 

And any would say, there was much to admire 

Every turn of the curve of her body was flawless 

From pretty white teeth to her shiny blond hair 

One day, as she stood by the road leading westward 

In blue jeans and t-shirt and mail-order boots 

The tractors and trailers and pick-ups, saw Linda 

The drivers all slowed down to holler and hoot

They received, not a smile from miss Linda Bohannon 

No bag and no brush did she hold in her hand 

Just Linda Bohannon, a physical treasure 

Stepped into a light-blue Mercedes Benz 

And this is one of those times 

That we wish we knew the missing parts to these stories 

But this is all we know 

She was missing a week and her parents were worried 

She called Sunday morning and said, "I'm okay" 

Well, Bohannons don't talk much, but we found out later 

She called from a movie star's house in L.A 

She's home now and been here for six years or seven 

She brought home a baby, a fine-looking lad 

Well Bohannons don't talk much, and Linda don't either 

And nobody told us a thing about his dad

Well she's pretty as ever and she works in a gift shop 

Looks after her boy and she don't ask for help 

She watches the re-runs of an old TV western 

And the boy looks a lot like a re-run himself
