Story Behind The Song

There is a scene in the movie "The Marine" starring John Cena. The bad guys are hiding in an abandoned roadhouse that has a juke box. Somebody plays a record that opens with a rockabilly guitar riff. It inspired me to do something in that vein.

Song Description

Based on my real life experience.

Lyrics

Well, Just when I think we're doin' alright
she tells me it's all wrong
Now all we seem to do
is fuss and fight
I might have to say so long:
Chorus:
I said so long,
so long baby,
so long maybe,
let's call it quits,
little girl
But then she come on with that sweet thing
any man would want
I said oh pretty woman
oh woah oh little girl
Looka
I came home last Saturday night
everything seemed okay
my baby waiting for me what a beautiful sight
in a pink negligee
a dozen roses, some french champagne
every thing she asked for
I said, wait a minute honey
tell me who is that man
hiding behind your bedroom door
I said a woa

I grabbed my coat, my hat, and my shoes
and headed for the front door
and she said,
hold on baby, you're all that I want
but sometimes I need a little more
then she come on with that sweet thing
any man would want
I said oh pretty woman
oh woah oh little girl
