Lyrics James McMurtry

James McMurtry

Red Dress

Remember when we'd get together

Burn the candle don't you know

Smoke and drink and live forever

No on e there to tell us no

This time I'm gonna kill that bastard

This time I'm not gonna miss, this time I'm not gonna miss

This time there ain't no doubt about it

Let me be quite clear on this

Out the back and down the alley

Gone to get your bucket spiked

Come back when you think you need me

Come back any time you like

Where'd you get that red dress

Where'd you get that red dress

Yes I'm drunk but damn you're ugly

Tell you one thing yes I will

Tomorrow morning I'll be sober

You'll be just as ugly still

Where'd you get that red dress

I don't know what you got goin' on

But You know I never seen you with that red dress on

Tell me where'd you get that red dress

Watching out the kitchen window

Right here in this old brown chair

Stack the empties on the table

Toss 'em down the basement stairs

Where'd you get that red dress

Where'd you get that red dress

Remember when we'd get together

Burn the candle don't you know

Smoke and drink and live forever

No one there to tell us no
