Emily
Ladd Smith

SHE SINGS AT THE BASEBALL GAMES EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT
HER BLUE EYES SEEM TO SPARKLE UNDER THEM OLD BALLPARK LIGHTS
OH SAY CAN YOU SEE THE WAY SHE’S LOOKING AT ME
OH, EMILY

THE FIRST TIME SHE TRIED TO KISS ME, I SAID “I KNOW WHAT YOU NEED…”
“A FOOTBALL STAR WITH A FANCY CAR, TO HELP YOU LIVE YOUR DREAMS”
“OH YOU DON’T WANT A RAMBLIN’ MAN TO LEAVE YOU FOR THE STREETS”
OH, EMILY

(chorus)
I SAID “EMILY DON’T MESS WITH ME
I’M NOT THE KIND OF GUY YOU NEED
I’LL BREAK YOUR HEART FROM THE START
PLEASE DON’T WAIT TO SEE
AND EMILY I CAN’T BE CHANGED
WOULD YOU BELIEVE WE’RE NOT THE SAME
OH, EMILY”

I SAID “I AM JUST A ROLLING STONE PASSING THRU THIS TOWN
AND WHAT I’M WEARIN’S ALL I OWN AND I CAN’T BE TIED DOWN”
AND AS SHE BROKE DOWN CRYING I SAID I HAD TO LEAVE
OH, EMILY

(repeat chorus 2x – tag)
