One part Norma Jean and one part Marilyn

She's a small town smile, a little white church

"Born To Run" on a faded T-shirt

Yeah
I grew up singing Eagles songs
G
Sometimes I wonder what took so long

To feel enough to give the best of my love

But a southern belle in the back of her truck

On an old dirt road, she's where I wanna go
