Queen of the Coast - Laura Cantrell video free download

She was the queen of the coast back in 1965

Prettier than most she could keep a room alive

With the catch in her voice and the beehive on her head

Do you remember anything she ever said?

Well some stars fade faster than the rest

And the promise wore off though she did her best

She finally looked around for somethin' else to do

What she found was a man who needed what she knew

Have you forgotten? Have you forgiven?

Tell me are you livin' just a little in your past every day.

Time sure has changed you; it's walked right on by you

Does it satisfy you to have so little to say?

For the next ten years she rode around on the bus

She did washin' and ironin' and pickin' up

She had a place to stand at the back of the stage

She was there every night lookin' her age

She lent her voice but she gave her heart

And I guess that must've been the hardest part

She figured out exactly what was going on

All the love she had given for a song

Then things unravelled like they usually do

She got her own heart busted up by husband number two

Have you forgotten etc

I'm not quite sure when she got back on the bus

But she's still washin' and ironin' and pickin' up

If you look all the way to the back of the stage

She's standin' at her mic, lookin' her age

In a roadstop in Reno at suppertime

The waitress comes over with a look in her eye

Says, 'I saw you in Modesto almost thirty years ago,

And I can still remember evry song in your show'

Please Help me, I'm Falling, Don't Come Home

A-Drinking

Well there's a pair of Swingin' Doors for every Cowboy's Sweetheart tonight.

Time sure has changed you; It's walked right on by you

Does it satisfy you to have so little to say.
