Her name is Bobbie Lee and she's movin'
She's gotta make her dream come true
Some might said she took a dead wrong turn

But she took the only road she knew
There's nothin' gonna stop or stall her
And luck is on her side tonight

They're pullin over to the curb to call her
Man, she loves these city lights
She says

So what's the difference
I gotta live
I gotta be somebody

And I wanna go where the apples grow
And all I need is the money
Hey mister, smile and buy my time

And I don't want you fillin' funny
Just think of Bonnie Lee like a busy bee
Gettin by by sellin' honey

She's got this picture of her brother
That she took when she left home
She rolled her hair up like her mother

With her mother's ivory comb
She was sweet sixteen last easter
But she know how to treat you right

Tomorrow she's gonna be in the movies
But she won't forget tonight
She says

So what's the difference
I gotta live
I gotta be somebody

I wanna go where the apples grow
And all that I need is the money
Hey mister, smile and buy my time

And I don't want you fellin funny
You just think of Bobbie Lee like a busy bee
Gettin' by by sellin honey

So what's the difference
I gotta live
I gotta be somebody

I gotta go where the apples grow
And all I need is the money
Hey mister, smile and buy bye time

And I don't want you fellin funny
You just keep thinking of Bobbie Lee like that busy,busy bee
Gettin' by by sellin honey
