"Red Dress" lyrics - JAMES MCMURTRY

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.

This time I'm gonna kill that bastard
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
I 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?
Where'd you get that red dress?
Where'd you get that red dress?
Where'd you get that red dress?

I don't know what you got going on
But I know I never seen you with that red dress on.

Tell me, where'd you get that red dress?
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?
Remember when we'd get together.
Smoke and drink and live forever
No one there to tell us no.
