You were just a child, and I should've known enough to wait
Looking at me like a woman from across the schoolyard gate
But you drew the line, and I took the bait
Walking you home, making a date
Little girl in blue jeans
Nothing but a daydream
Nothing but a fantasy
You keep reaching out for me
Little girl in blue jeans
We should've known better than to steal your daddy's car
The Illinois state line didn't seem like very far
The radio played the sweetest guitar
We got out for a slow dance underneath the stars
Little girl in blue jeans
Nothing but a daydream
Nothing but a fantasy
You keep reaching out for me
Little girl in blue jeans
We didn't see the sunrise, but we saw that light
Spinning round and round on a county sheriff, black and white
I wanted to hold you and tell you good night
But I couldn't reach you, I was handcuffed so tight
Little girl in blue jeans
Nothing but a daydream
Nothing but a fantasy
You keep reaching out for me
Little girl in blue jeans
Nothing but a daydream
Nothing but a fantasy
You keep reaching out for me
Little girl in blue jeans
Nothing but a daydream
Nothing but a memory
You keep reaching out for me
Nothing but a fantasy
You keep reaching, move a little closer now
Little girl in blue jeans
Nothing but a memory
