When Dean Was The Man (And Monroe Always Smiled) Songtext / Lyric

you see, I have this picture, all perfect and pretty

in which all is all that it seems

with a white picket fence home away from the city

to live the American Dream



and it's you girl

that I see beside me

it's you girl

you're still on my mind



and it's you girl that I see beside me in time



how I long for the 50's in all of its glory

when Dean was the man and Monroe always smiled

I know life ain't a movie, no dime novel story

but I go for either the truth or a lie






and it's you girl that I see beside me

it's you girl you're still on my mind

and it's you girl that I see beside me in time



so many boys are so damn close to perfect

so many boys so much funner than me

but I'll try my hardest to make us so happy

so just like the good Lord meant it to be



and it's you girl

that I see beside me

it's you girl

I stare myself blind



and it's you girl that I see beside me in time



and it's you girl

that I see beside me

it's you girl

I know my own mind



and it's you girl all of the time



all of the time
