When I was pushing thirty she was in her teens Oh how she loved me this pretty teenage queen But a few years after marriage she loved me no more When I was pushing forty she was barely twenty four Then the trouble started between Carolyn and me I was satisfied at home but she longed to be free Been searching for that something and the pastures looked so green Through the eyes of Carolyn Carolyn the teenage queen Each day her love grew colder at night she'd go to town Gossip came to me Carolyn was running round I didn't want to believe it but knew it must be true I couldn't stand to lose her so knew what I must do Carolyn I was thinking as I cleaned my gun Go out and have a good time it's your last night of fun Twelve o'clock one o'clock till a quarter till two I'm still burning the midnight oil waiting up for you Car pulled in the driveway the man wore a badge and gun Said you got a wife named Carolyn I think you better come In a wreck out on the highway she'd met her final end I stared in her face so deathly white she cheated me once again Each night I think of Carolyn laying beneath the soil Each night my mind grows weaker as I burn the midnight oil My mind has thoughts of her bad sides that my heart's never seen I'm still in love with Carolyn Carolyn the teenage queen I'm still in love with Carolyn Carolyn the teenage queen
