Elton John
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Now, it was just like Frankie and Johnny
2
And it was just like Stagger Lee
3
Dolly Summers was a simple girl
4
From a mid-west family
5
With a stucco home and her own Mustang
6
And a charge account at sears
7
She had everything that a girl could want
8
To live happy for the rest of her years
9
But the thing that she wanted most of all
10
Was the thing that she had lost
11
To the arms of a downtown black jack hustler
12
By the name of Candy floss
13
They'd slipped town on a late night train
14
Heading for the west
15
Dolly slipped behind the wheel of her mustang
16
With a piece between her breast
17
If it seemed just like a movie
18
Or a night of bad TV
19
They should have had a picture of Dolly's face
20
As she drove across the country
21
With daggers drawn for her fallen man
22
An venom in her heart
23
It was nearly dawn when she caught them up
24
Making out in a picnic park
25
But the thing that shook her rigid
26
As she fumbled for her gun
27
Was the state of the man that she'd married once
28
And thought of as the only one
29
And as she looked back on the chances
30
That she'd passed up at home
31
Well, she quietly dumped pistol in a ditch
32
And she headed home alone
