A Girl Named Rachael Lyrics

I met her at the car wash she was cleaning out her Chevy

In a dirty faded t-shirt forty miles from the levee

She was emptying her ashtray I was scraping off the tar

She asked me for a quarter I checked my penny jar

I handed her some loose change and it slipped right through her hands

We picked it up upon our knees comparing wedding bands

She asked me if I'd meet her and I asked

Is this a game?

She said

There's something missing

I don't even know your name!"

She was a girl named Rachael

A girl named Rachael

She had a hundred dollar facial and a thousand dollar pure bred cat

She was a girl named Rachael

A girl named Rachael

She had a hundred dollar facial and a thousand dollar pure bred cat

We headed towards the airport with our credit cards and lust

Praying that we'd never have to promise love or trust

The red-eye to Las Vegas Caesar's Palace what's in store?

There's an empty headed dreamer near the window at my door

At the airport at a slot machine we won a hundred grand

Bought us a Mercedes and drove off through the sand

Checked into the bridal suite and melted down our rings

Bet it all on ignorance blind love and other things

She was a girl named Rachael

A girl named Rachael

She had a hundred dollar facial and a thousand dollar pure bred cat

She was a girl named Rachael

A girl named Rachael

She had a hundred dollar facial and a thousand dollar pure bred cat

It ended like it started only pennies and some dirt

I'll never clean her memory out I've got lipstick on my shirt

I made it back to Texas ended up in the Midwest

Still trying to discover what it is that she does best

With her magic laugh at midnight and her thoughts in outer space

The frozen night denies her eyes she's wearing purple lace

I can almost feel my arms around her heated willing waist

She offered me a lifetime I settled for a taste

She was a girl named Rachael

A girl named Rachael

She had a hundred dollar facial and a thousand dollar pure bred cat

She was a girl named Rachael

A girl named Rachael

She had a hundred dollar facial and a thousand dollar pure bred cat

She was a girl named Rachael

A girl named Rachael

She had a hundred dollar facial and a thousand dollar pure bred cat
