Lyrics

Short Skirts And Lipstick.

It was ten years ago, when she made her mistake,
And the love of her life let her go,
He tried to believe her, she tried to pretend ,
But the baby was starting to grow,

Well after the passion the consequence came,
A daughter with auburny hair,
It wasn't his baby she couldn't pretend,
Her life with him ended right there,
Now she's all,

Chorus,
Short skirts and lipstick,
Hair from a bottle, rings from a penny arcade,
Short skirts and lipstick hair from a bottle ,
Won't make up for the price she has paid,

Her daddy'd forgive her like he always did,
Her momma said you've gone too far,
You had a good man, you had a good life,
You even got your shooting star,
Now you're all,

Chorus Solo.

She's down to her last drop of self respect,
She asks a young stranger to dance,
Well he wants her so badly, knows that he can,
In exchange for a little romance,
Cos' she's all,
Chorus x 2

Good lyrics on this song.

For someone who doesn't usually listen to C&W sounds, this was really enjoyable to listen to and quite refreshing. This may have changed my view about Country music. Actually I love it! Instrumentation is great, and the vocal is also really good.

Nice song, I think it might sound better without the reverb.

Very Catchy!

Great Story! I enjoyed the whole song from start to finish. Instrumental break features the talents of the whole band nicely. Love the banjo. What was that other instrument? Tight harmonies from the get go, fun to listen to. It is really a sad story, one that happens too often. Strong hook. Very singable tune!

whoa, scary good lyrically...like the banjo, like the overall vibe, does sound more alternative country than traditional, but hell, that might be picky. like the entire band's work here.

I like even I dont listen this kind of music.

Great close harmonies and a nice tight sound. Had my attention right from the start .My ear is drawn to some good Banjo playing and a good professional finish.

The song stays true to it's traditional roots.

very nice toe tapper
