"Carried Away" lyrics

When I first met Becky, at the home of a mutual friend
I'd have laughed out loud
If you'd told me then, I'd fall in love with a silly little girl who got
Carried away, carried away, with every little thing

Like for instance, Becky
Would go crazy over fashions and fads and shriek with joy
And get overly glad and play the radio too loud all the time and get
Carried away, carried away, when some big star would sing

But I loved sweet Becky
Even though she could make so mad, cause I knew darn well
She was the best I had
And even when I saw that she joined with the crowd and got carried away, carried away, learnin' to do her thing

I still loved my Becky
And I tried to make her realize, that the joy she felt
Was sorrow in disguise
And pretty soon, all that speed she woulda taken, she'd get
Carried away, carried away, and go to the far again

When I first met Becky, at the home of a mutual friend
I'd have laughed out loud
If you'd have me then, I'd see that girl in an old gray casket being
Carried away, carried away, to hear the angels sing

Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oo
Never grow old
