Oh, oh, Lonnie
Lonnie, Lonnie was a legend
In a white corvette, I remember it well
The bad girl who lived across the street
The one who all the boys want to meet
A little bit older, but I don't care
Spiked blond hair and a white corvette
She came out screaming at 2 AM
She took off with her bad boyfriend
I watched through the window as she took flight
Oh Lonnie, where'd you go when you left that night
Where'd you go, oh Lonnie, where'd you go
You had to get away from the pain
But did you know, oh Lonnie, did you know
You didn't have to go so far away
I waited at the school, but she never showed
So I dreamed of all the places she had rolled
Robbin' banks, pulling pranks, havin' sex and all
I think I had her end up somewhere in Mexico
But time passed by and rumors started to flow
Everybody wonderin' where the hell did Lonnie go
My friend's said dead and we got in a fight
But later that day, paper, black and white
They said they found her body up in Bakersfield
They said they found her teeth stuck in the windshield
But when I think of you you're in your white corvette
Driving around with the wind in your hair
Where'd you go, oh Lonnie, where'd you go
You had to get away from the pain
But did you know, oh Lonnie, did you know
You didn't have to go so far away
Where'd you go, oh Lonnie, where'd you go
You had to get away from the pain
But did you know, oh Lonnie, did you know
You didn't have to go so far away
Oh Lonnie
You showed me the meaning of cool
You made me act like a fool
Waiting by that window, I'd wait any length
To see you come back in your little white corvet
