A banker's daughter or a runaway girl,  
Cm      F        D            
A little lady or a honky-tonk Pearl 
Em     Bm       C                                    G 
Has to find someplace in this world where she feels at home. 
 
A banker's daughter is so hard to deceive;  
A little lady is so hard to please. 
Honky-tonk Pearl wears her heart on her sleeve and her heart will not grow cold. 
 
Chorus 
 
Here's a wish for a runaway girl; 
Here's a prayer for honky-tonk Pearl - 
Hope she finds someplace outta this world where she feels at home.
