Shoulder Holster Lyrics - Blue Moves - Elton John

Now it was just like Frankie and Johnny 

And it was just like Stagger Lee 

Dolly Summers was a simple girl 

From a mid-west family 

With a stucco home and her own Mustang 

And a charge account at Sears 

She had everything that a girl could want 

To live happy for the rest of her years 

But the thing that she wanted most of all 

Was the thing that she had lost 

To the arms of a downtown black jack hustler 

By the name of Candyfloss 

They'd skipped town on a late night train 

Heading for the West 

Dolly slipped behind the wheel of her Mustang 

With a piece between her breast

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

She put a pistol in her Shoulder Holster 

She took her car up from Santa Fe 

Yesterday morning she was washing dishes 

Now she's hunting down a runaway 

Don't judge a man by a misdemeanor 

You may be sorry when his light goes out 

Don't put that pistol in your Shoulder Holster 

You can never, never tell if the Law's about 

If it seemed just like a movie 

Or a night of bad TV 

They should have had a picture of Dolly's face 

As she drove across country 

With daggers drawn for her fallen man 

And venom in her heart 

It was nearly dawn when she caught them up 

Making out in a picnic park 

But the thing that shook her rigid 

As she fumbled for her gun 

Was the state of the man that she'd married once 

And thought of as the only one 

And as she looked back on the chances 

That she'd passed up at home 

Well she quietly dumped her pistol in a ditch 

And she headed home alone
