Linda Jean Songtext
von Charlie Overman

She′s had dark circles under her eyes
Ever since she was a girl
Her daddy was born on the Fourth of July
And she's raised listenin′ to Merle

She was born on a farm in Kentucky
Had a buckskin since she was a kid
And I know she gets sad 'round the Fourth of July
'Cause her daddy′s been a long time dead

But she′s tougher than shit just like her mother
And she loves her dogs and her troubled late brother
And she'll cry over horses and sing country songs
And it won′t never matter to me
Whether she's right or she′s wrong


She ain't never gonna have no wedding
Like she might′ve thought when she's a girl
She's taught never trust no good timin′ man
With things she can get on her own

She played rock n roll when she′s seventeen
Just like the rest of us done
She got tired of load-ins and tired of cities
And went back to where she come from

She's been to Europe and I wasn′t there
But I reckon they liked her band
She ain't from Washington
She′s from Versailles and you can tell by the way she stands

She's tougher than shit just like her mother
And she loves her dogs and her troubled late brother
And she′ll cry over horses and sing country songs
And it won't never matter to me
Whether she's right or she′s wrong


She was born on a farm in Kentucky
Had a buckskin since she was a kid
And I know she gets sad ′round the Fourth of July
'Cause her daddy′s been a long time dead
