Featuring: Duanne Allen

Oh ho, Emmylou. Emmylou,

What in the world can I do?
Spend my life just trying to get close to you
Heaven is a girl named Emmylou.


Trailed you out to Houston
To a hotel downtown,

Followed you down the corridor
But you never turned around.
But one of your big old bodyguards

Suggested that I leave
He didn't seem to appreciate
The patch upon my sleeve.


That read
Oh. ho, Emmylou. Emmylou,

Just a fan whose in love with you.
Spend most of my time trying to talk to you
Heaven is a girl named Emmylou.


I heard you went to LA
So I hitched myself a ride

California dreaming of me
Right there by your side.
Out at the Palomino Club

I watched you all night long
Until you looked right at me
In the words of your last song.

I asked you for your guitar pick
that's all that I could say
Then the limo did appear

And took the queen away.

Oh ho, Emmylou. Emmylou,

What in the world can I do?
Spend my life just trying to get close to you
Heaven is a girl named Emmylou.


Well I Love Olivia's eyes
And Rondstat's really nice

But heaven is a girl named Emmylou.
