AMERICA - WHAT DOES IT MATTER lyrics

rate me

Written by Gerry Beckley, ©1974

Found on Holiday.

(Great hits of the sixties)

Look the lady's got a photograph

Silver framed and velvet backed

Well, she took it quite a while ago

Funny that she never let me know

What does it matter to me

If it doesn't show

I just don't know

It's only just a memory

Just a little history

Oh, oh, oh

And now she's wearing satin shoes

Gilded hair to pay the dues

I guess that I should tip my hat

I wonder if she'd think of looking back

What does it matter to me

If it doesn't show

I just don't know

It's only just a memory

Just a little history

Oh, oh

In the parking lot late at night

Paper straws never worked out right

I knew I wanted to

But didn't know why

So I just said "Hi"

(Everybody sing along now)
