Lyrics

Red Dress

I didn't know the gun was loaded;
I didn't think she'd shoot to kill.
Pure blue bullets of heartache
Makin' all my dreams spill;
As I faded into the darkness
Wonderin' just what went wrong,
She just stood there laughin',
She had her red dress on.

Red dress, red dress;
Baby's got her red dress on;
Red dress, red dress;
Baby's got her red dress on.

So I found my way to the sidewalk,
Doin' a dance of a fool;
Searchin' every corner of this lonely city
For another corner stool;
On the impulsive side of indulgence
And self pity as my friend;
We just drank to all the good times
That never really began;

Red dress, red dress;
Baby's got her red dress on; etc.

Two short shots of courage,
Three tall glasses of lies;
I'm searchin' down the alley
For a neon lover;
Won't I ever realize?
I got endless change for the jukebox,
I'm gonna' play that same old song;
There's a girl inthe corner,
She's got a red dress on;

Red dress, red dress;
Baby's got her red dress on; etc.

Baby's got a red dress.
