Carolyn The Teenage Queen

When I was pushing thirty , she was in her teens
Oh how she loved me this pretty teenage queen
But a few years after marriage she love me no more
When I was pushing 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 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, its you last night of fun
Twelve o'clock, one o'clock till a quarter till 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 better come
In a wreck out on the highway she'd met her final end
I was staring 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 rolls 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
