Billy got a pink guitar
She said she's gonna play it someday
She'll drive the fastest car, the fastest car
They're tellin' her, "Don't work too hard
Wait and see if it could even happen
These things won't get you far, won't get you far"
But when she thinks she dreams about it
And when she dreams, she screams about it
Sad girl, big world
Hanging around and doing nothin'
Sad girl, don't want this world
And she ain't ever coming home
Skating down the boulevard, trying to outrace the mundane
They tell her keep her guard up, be on guard
She's gazing at the stars, wishing that she'll be one someday
She's gotta make it far, she'll make it far
'Cause when she thinks, she dreams about it (When she thinks, she dreams about it)
And when she dreams, she screams about it (When she dreams, she screams)
Sad girl, big world
Hanging around and doing nothin'
Sad girl, don't want this world
And she ain't ever coming home
Hold my hand tonight, I don't wanna see you cry
Every time you look at me, I die
And she ain't ever coming home again
Hold my hand tonight, I promise I won't cry
When I hear you say the words goodbye
And she ain't ever coming home again
Hold my hand tonight, I don't wanna see you cry
Sad girl, big world
Hanging around and doing nothin'
She ain't ever coming home again
Hold my hand tonight, I don't wanna see you cry
Sad girl, big world
And she ain't ever coming home
She ain't ever coming home again
