When I was pushin' thirty She was in her teens Oh, how she loved me This pretty teenage queen But a few years after marriage She loved me no more When I was pushin' forty She was barely twenty four Then the trouble started Between Carolyn and me I was satisfied at home But she longed to be free Been searchin' for that somethin' And the pastures looked so green Through the eyes of Carolyn Carolyn the teenage queen Each day, her love grew colder At night, she'd go to town Gossip came to me Carolyn was runnin' round I didn't want to believe it But I knew it must be true I couldn't stand to lose her So I knew what I must do Carolyn, I was thinkin' As I cleaned my gun Go out and have a good time It's your last night of fun Twelve o'clock, one o'clock, then a quarter til two And I'm still burnin' the midnight oil Waitin' up for you Car pulled in the driveway The man wore a badge and gun Said you got a wife name Carolyn And I think you better come In a wreck out on the highway She'd met her final end I was starin' in her face, so deathly white She cheated me once again Each night, I think of Carolyn Layin' beneath the soil Each night, my mind grows weaker As I burn the midnight oil My mind has thoughts of her bad side That my heart's never seen I'm still in love with Carolyn Carolyn the teenage queen I'm still in love with Carolyn Carolyn the teenage queen
