Emmylou

Oh ho, Emmylou. Emmylou,

What in the world can I do?

Spend my life just trying to get close to you

Heaven is a girl named Emmylou.



Trailed you out to Houston

To a hotel downtown,

Followed you down the corridor

But you never turned around.

But one of your big old bodyguards

Suggested that I leave

He didn't seem to appreciate

The patch upon my sleeve.

That read

Oh. ho, Emmylou. Emmylou,

Just a fan whose in love with you.

Spend most of my time trying to talk to you

Heaven is a girl named Emmylou.



I heard you went to LA

So I hitched myself a ride

California dreaming of me

Right there by your side.

Out at the Palomino Club

I watched you all night long

Until you looked right at me

In the words of your last song.

I asked you for your guitar pick

That's all that I could say

Then the limo did appear

And took the queen away.



Oh ho, Emmylou. Emmylou,

What in the world can I do?

Spend my life just trying to get close to you

Heaven is a girl named Emmylou.



Well I love Olivia's eyes

And Ronstadt's really nice

But heaven is a girl named Emmylou
