Living here in this old town
C Em
There ain't a lot to do

And after work I just ride around
C Em
Looking out for something new

When I saw you standing in a drugstore
C Em
Trying on your diamond ring

Had to run in jujp through the front door
C Em
Grab your hand and start to sing about

And when you sing that old Shirelle song

I'm the king with the golden crown
