From a Chevy to a Lincoln, from paper shades to curtains, from neon lights to crystal chandeliers From a cut flash to diamonds and that ladder she's climbing, crying golden tears Well I traded in my Levi's for high heels and flowing gowns And parties and swimming pools and a scenic view of town Now she once told me she didn't need love and that money see her through the year But the last time that I saw him and my eyes were golden tears From a Chevy to a Lincoln, from paper shades to curtains, from neon lights to crystal chandeliers From a cut flash to diamonds and that ladder she's climbing, crying golden tears Well now her picture's in the paper, country clubs and lots and lots of good times But my smile is artificial, cause the story is between the lines From a Chevy to a Lincoln, from paper shades to curtains, from neon lights to crystal chandeliers From a cut flash to diamonds and that ladder she's climbing, crying golden tears From a Chevy to a Lincoln, from paper shades to curtains, from neon lights to crystal chandeliers From a cut flash to diamonds and that ladder she's climbing, crying golden tears
