Her daddy played lead, he's an old weekender Workin' that small town sunburst Fender scene They say one day she up and left the farm With that Strat and her hat and her worn out Carhartts on With one last look at the barrel horse in the barn But who's that girl with the Stratocaster Has anybody ever thought to ask her name She's playin' with some boys across the border With a western heart and a lonesome northern twang I seen her one time in Oklahoma Looking all alone, 'bout as far from home as could be Thought for a second 'bout tryin' to approach her But she's looking for the one that'll help to rope her dreams And it turns out that it's tougher than it seems But who's that girl with the Stratocaster Has anybody ever thought to ask her name She's playin' with some boys across the border With a western heart and a lonesome northern twang She stands at the back and she keeps on strummin' Believes in the rhythm and a better day comin' soon She ain't been home in a dozen seasons She's runnin' out of time for findin' reasons to And she's runnin' out of rhymes to put the music to
