Girl Who Read The Same Book All The Time Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

The girl from West Virginia read the same book all the time 

At first I thought perhaps she was unsettled in her mind 

She'd read it front to back and then she'd read it over again 

She knew that I knew she knew what happened in the end 

She would go to work each morning that's the book that she would take 

She'd read it on her lunch hour and she'd read it on her break 

Her calm expression never changed from page to page to page 

She knew that story never changed from day to day to day 

Some people said it was a book about a love affair 

That grew and grew throughout the years and never knew a care 

A book wherein the people love and dreams all turned out right 

They say she even took the book to bed with her at night 

I recall the tattered pages and the cover faded out 

Of a walkin' wind blown woman by some old majestic house 

One day I even asked her why she did that and she said 

Mr Hall this is the best book I have ever read

Some people say it was a book about a great romance 

She picked it up the night she didn't make the high school dance 

Ain't it strange what life can sometimes do to people's mind 

Like the girl from West Virginia reads the same book all the time
