hey ronnie (veronica's song)

she was 19 i was 25

when i saw her for the first time

i met her at the station

she was working overtime

just a pretty tomboy pumping gas

when i asked her name she smiled

she said

they call me ronnie

so we sat and talked awhile

well we laughed and joked

and spoke of dreams

again and again

it was more than love could have ever been

baby you were my friend

hey hey ronnie

we were wild as the wind

me and ronnie

we'll be together till the end

two beautiful dreamers

but the dream it had to end in the end

the summer nights they had to fade

and the winter came on strong

but even on the coldest nights

our love would keep us warm

well we had to scrape to pay the rent

working too hard to hold on

nights with you were heaven sent

it was the days that all went wrong

we were tough

just a little too proud

too pack it in

to walk right out

so let it fade let the movie end

forever friends

hey hey ronnie

we were wild as the wind

me and ronnie

swore that love was everything

somewhere we got lost

and now i miss you my friend

so when you're out there

in the cold cold world

ronnie girl think about me

well

ain't it funny how the years go on

true love never dies

my dream of being elvis

all but passed me by

well i wonder if she's pumping gas

i bet she's doing fine

hey ronnie if you're out there

i could use a friend tonight

ronnie

hey hey ronnie

we were wild as the wind

me and ronnie

swore that love was everything

hey hey ronnie

we were wild as the wind

me and ronnie
