Intro: verse 1 Her dress it was of snowy white A rose tied to her wrist The words her daddy preached to her Were softened with a kiss verse 2 They’ll judge you by your company They cannot see beyond Be careful who you choose in life And stay where you belong Leave me be, I’ll make my own friends Don’t tell me who to love, don’t tell me who to hate I will find out on my own Don’t make the way too narrow and straight verse 3 He was on the road to Galveston By way of Woodsboro After four long weeks out on a rig In the Gulf of Mexico verse 4 His eyes were shining like the sea His hair was like black gold She knew her daddy’d disapprove Because he was so bold Leave me be, I’ll make my own friends Don’t tell me who to love, don’t tell me who to hate I will find out on my own Don’t make the way too narrow and straight I will find out on my own Don’t make the way too narrow and straight Verse 5 He was sleeping in his easy chair When a call came in the night The trooper said they’d found his girl His little girl dressed in white Verse 6 He jumped into his car and drove To the Gulf of Mexico And found her face down in the sand Like poor Pinocchio Verse 7 And he remembered how she’d cried When the movie played in town But where was the good fairy now To turn all this around Don’t tell me who to love, don’t tell me who to hate I will find out on my own Leave me be, I’ll make my own friends Don’t tell me who to love, don’t tell me who to hate I will find out on my own Don’t make the way too narrow and straight - too late I will find out on my own Don’t make the way too narrow and straight Outro:
