A
She turns every head coming down the sidewalk
F#m
In that red sundress that she just bought
E                            Bm     D
Causing a traffic jam on a greenlight
A
A string of pearls showing off her suntan
F#m
And all those curls dancing ‘round her RayBans
E                                Bm
If you think that’s something to see

Chorus:
              E                 A
You ought to see her when she’s on
that front porch in those cut-off jeans
          D
And that Texas Longhorns t-shirt
hair drying in the breeze
 E                                Bm
Humming along to some old Haggard song
              E                 A D
You ought to see her when she’s on

Down at the office in those high heels
Looking like a million, closing big deals
She’ll remind the boys, eyes are way up here
Yeah that’ll make you smile ear to ear

Chorus:
You ought to see her when she’s on
That leather couch, reading that fairy tale
To a sleepy-eyed little girl in
pajamas and ponytails
Saying one day your prince charming will come along
You ought to see her when she’s on

Oh, you ought to see her when she’s on
That front porch in those old cut-off jeans
And that Texas Longhorns t-shirt,
smiling back at me
When you see her dressed to kill
And it drops your jaw

You ought to see her when she’s
On that leather couch reading that fairy tale
That’s when she’s on
That’s when she’s on that front porch
In those old cut-off jeans
That’s when she’s on
Oh, when she’s on
That’s when she’s on
