Lynda With A Y

Lynda had a smile like a string of pearls
And a heart like a Georgia peach
Raised with the charm of a Dixie girl
On the North Carolina beach

And the boys were always looking when she passed them by
Every one of them was on his knees
But only one man ever caught her eye
Or got her sweet little heart to beat

She said hey cutie pie be a stand up guy
C’mere and buy a southern girl a shot
My name is Lynda with a Y, I don’t tell no lies
And you and I are gonna’ tie the knot

Well I’m the one you’re gonna’ hold ‘til we both get old
No matter what through the lows and highs
So write my name like I told ya’ on your heart big and bold, yeah
That’s Lynda with a Y

Tommie spent the 80s in the heat of Texas
She was sexy super smooth and smart
Well she got a reputation eating boys for breakfast
And spittin’ out their little hearts

Until she came across a fellow who could call her bluff
And make her tremble when he said her name
Well she could tell that he was tender to the touch but tough
Oh she could feel him running through her veins

She said hey cutie pie be a stand up guy
C’mere and buy a southern girl a shot
My name is Tommie with an I, I don’t tell no lies
And you and I are gonna’ tie the knot

Well I’m the one you’re gonna’ hold ‘til we both get old
No matter what through the lows and highs
So write my name like I told ya’ on your heart big and bold, yeah
That’s Tommie with an I

Now Lynda lived a little longer than her lover did
Left only bittersweet memories
And Tommie’s tender tough treasure after years of pleasure
Slipped away into the deepest sleep

But the magic was that the tragic loss
Didn’t leave anybody alone
Now Tommie and Lynda spend all summer and winter
Trading stories ‘til the cows come home
