Seekers - Morningtown Ride lyrics

She was and angel from a small town, no one knew her name

No one ever thought she'd get caught up in the game

Her momma tired to tell her, it's a cold and lonely world, yea

She was lookin' for a master, he was lookin' for a slave

he was headed for the top, she was headed for the grave

She had everything she wanted, but she had to give her

love for all the world to see

Pre-Chorus:

There's no reason, it had to end up that way

Her heart was bleeding for someone to take her away

Chorus 1:

Oooh, she's just and innocent girl

Tryin' to be a woman in a mixed up world

Oooh, now she's a woman of the world

But she'll always be a innocent girl

She had her name up in lights, she was a brand new queen

She had a tear in her eye, as she looked at the screen

Then she thought about the past, and it happened so fast

Whoa, for this innocent girl

She headed out of town for the weekend with a friend

No one ever knew she was headed for the end

They found her on a bed, a revolver in hand

Oooh, what a tradgedy

(Pre-Chorus)

Chorus 2:

Oooh, she's just and innocent girl

Just a little girl in a grown up world

Oooh, now she's a woman of the world

But she'll always be and innocent girl

Chorus 3:

Oooh, she's just and innocent girl

That didn't want to be a small town girl

Oooh, now she's a woman of the world

But she'll always be a innocent girl
