When I was pushin' thirty
She was in her teens
Oh, how she loved me
This pretty teenage queen
But a few years after marriage
She loved me no more
When I was pushin' forty
She was barely twenty four
Then the trouble started
Between Carolyn and me
I was satisfied at home
But she longed to be free
Been searchin' for that somethin'
And the pastures looked so green
Through the eyes of Carolyn
Carolyn the teenage queen
Each day, her love grew colder
At night, she'd go to town
Gossip came to me
Carolyn was runnin' round
I didn't want to believe it
But I knew it must be true
I couldn't stand to lose her
So I knew what I must do
Carolyn, I was thinkin'
As I cleaned my gun
Go out and have a good time
It's your last night of fun
Twelve o'clock, one o'clock, then a quarter til two
And I'm still burnin' the midnight oil
Waitin' up for you
Car pulled in the driveway
The man wore a badge and gun
Said you got a wife name Carolyn
And I think you better come
In a wreck out on the highway
She'd met her final end
I was starin' in her face, so deathly white
She cheated me once again
Each night, I think of Carolyn
Layin' beneath the soil
Each night, my mind grows weaker
As I burn the midnight oil
My mind has thoughts of her bad side
That my heart's never seen
I'm still in love with Carolyn
Carolyn the teenage queen
I'm still in love with Carolyn
Carolyn the teenage queen
