Well, this is not a good sign You don't know when, but you're running out of time And then the life that you had and your heart Well, it passed on before you fell apart Don't you know you're a good girl? Won't you please act that way? Oh, be a good girl, desiree Well, she grew up just south of Eau Claire Dreaming of a dirt road anywhere And the boys, they would drive her right into the night And through the darkness she could at least see city lights And if you're going to go a mile May as well go all the way Oh, and you were moving, desiree So, get moving desiree And you thought you'd live forever But you're not so sure today So you dropped to your knees and you prayed And you thought you'd lived forever But if your heart should stop today God knows you were a good girl anyway So, be a good girl desiree Oh, you're a good girl, desiree
