Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie TaupinAvailable on the album Blue MovesNow it was just like Frankie and JohnnyAnd it was just like Stagger LeeDolly Summers was a simple girlFrom a mid-west familyWith a stucco home and her own MustangAnd a charge account at SearsShe had everything that a girl could wantTo live happy for the rest of her yearsBut the thing that she wanted most of allWas the thing that she had lostTo the arms of a downtown black jack hustlerBy the name of CandyflossThey'd slipped town on a late night trainHeading for the WestDolly slipped behind the wheel of her MustangWith a piece between her breastIf it seemed just like a movieOr a night of bad TVThey should have had a picture of Dolly's faceAs she drove across the countryWith daggers drawn for her fallen manAn venom in her heartIt was nearly dawn when she caught them upMaking out in a picnic parkBut the thing that shook her rigidAs she fumbled for her gunWas the state of the man that she'd married onceAnd thought of as the only oneAnd as she looked back on the chancesThat she'd passed up at homeWell she quietly dumped pistol in a ditch
