Carolyn The Teenage Queen

When I was pushing 30, 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 pushing 40, she was barely 24

Then the trouble started between Carolyn and me

I was satisfied at home but she longed to be free

Been searching for that something, 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 running 'round

I didn't want to believe it, but knew it must be true

I couldn't stand to lose her so knew what I must do

Carolyn I was thinking as I cleaned my gun

Go out and have a good time, it's your last night of fun

12 o'clock, 1 o'clock, 'til a quarter 'til two

I'm still burning the midnight oil waiting up for you

Car pulled in the driveway, the man wore a badge and gun

Said, "You got a wife named Carolyn, I think you'd better come"

In a wreck out on the highway, she'd met her final end

I stared in her face so deathly white, she cheated me once again

Each night I think of Carolyn laying beneath the soil

Each night my mind grows weaker as I burn the midnight oil

My mind has thoughts of her bad sides 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
