He wasn't lookin' for fanfare or fame

But it all came around just the same

He then met a girl with desire in her eye

He gave her love, she took her name



The times they were good, the times they were bad

Most times it was just in between

The hard pill he swallowed was the times that they had

She put on display for all to be seen



Some find their solace in work or the lord

She was quite content in her dream

When his eyes they burned from the bright lime light

He found comfort in the bottle of ol' Jimmy Bean



One day from the depths of his deep darkend hole

He reached out for somethin' to feel

She offerd back nothin' but lack of respect

So he let himself out with two barrels of steel



She cried in the day She cried in the night

She cried loudest when someone was near

Whether crying for him or she cried for herself

The bigger the camera The bigger the tear



Most folks agree she was a living hell

And publicly she showed her pain

And never once was there a thought for herself

And the ever growing slices of fortune and fame



Now on the coattails of a dead man she'll ride

On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride

On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride she'll ride

On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride she'll ride high
