The Baseballs – Goodbye Peggy Sue lyrics

She was a top class, top act, crazy kind of girl
A top cat on a tin roof kind of girl
We took a hot rod ridin' out straight into the sun
We burnt our feathers, hoppin' an' a-boppin' an' havin' fun

But all we get is growing old
And things are way beyond control

So goodbye Peggy Sue, you know that I love you
Still have to go, oh, oh, oh
Goodbye Peggy Sue, you know that I'm sorry
That I had to break your heart for rock 'n' roll

For rock 'n' roll!

She gave me good love, hot love everyday
But be-bop-a-lula, skinny Minny got in the way
She liked to stay at home and gaze upon the stars
But I had to get out and reached for my guitar

'Cause all we get is growing old
And things are way beyond control

So goodbye Peggy Sue, you know that I love you
Still have to go, oh, oh, oh
Goodbye Peggy Sue, you know that I'm sorry
That I had to break your heart for rock 'n' roll

There is no one to blame, I love you still the same
There is no reason baby, oh, oh, oh, oh
I feel it in my heart, I feel it in my soul
Oh, oh, oh

So goodbye Peggy Sue, you know that I love you
Still have to go, oh, oh, oh
Goodbye Peggy Sue, you know that I'm sorry (for rock 'n' roll)
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Goodbye Peggy Sue, you know that I love you (goodbye Peggy Sue)
Still have to go, oh, oh, oh
So goodbye Peggy Sue, you know that I'm sorry
That I had to break your heart for rock 'n' roll

For rock 'n' roll!
