John Corbett Dairy Queen
He was just a kid
Barely seventeen
He was the best-lookin' thing you'd ever seen
Got his old car runnin'
He picked her up one night
Went flying down the highway
With half a tank and one headlight
Told her she was pretty
Told her that he cared
Told her all the things
That a young girl wants to hear
She gave him a kiss
Gave her his high school ring
They professed their love
In front of the Dairy Queen
Graduation came
Life has to move along
Daddy sent her off to college
And he volunteered for ‘Nam
She wed a doctor
And moved to Austin
He came home a hero
With a medal in a coffin
She talks to God sometimes
Pray his soul to save
Calls his mama, Christmas
Sends flowers to his grave
She keeps his memory
Close to her heart
She has his ring
In an old money jar
She has no regrets
Loves her old man and kids
But there's a part of her
That belonged to him
And sometimes she gets sad
And she daydreams
She hops in her car
And goes to Dairy Queen
