lyrics

MAMAS DRESSED TO KILL FOR THE WEEKEND
FRIDAY NIGHT’S THE HONKY TONK SALOON
ROSES ARE THE FLOWERS OF THE EVENING
AND IT LOOKS LIKE THERE’S A BUNCH OF THEM IN BLOOM

AND ONE RED ROSE IS ALL SHE NEEDS TO REMIND HER
WHAT IT IS TO BE LOVED ONE RED ROSE, ONE AT A TIME
SHES ALREADY CROSSED THAT LINE WHERE ALL THEY LEAVE BEHIND
WHEN THEY GO IS ONE RED ROSE

IN THE LADIES ROOM SHE PUTS HER FACE ON
IS THAT MIRROR CRACKED, SHE SEES A LINE
SHE DON’T MIND THE YOUNGER COMPETITION
SHE KNOWS SHE’LL LOOK DAMN GOOD COME CLOSING TIME

SHE DON’T GOT BUT ONE LICK OF SENSE
TO SIT OUT ON THAT LONELY FENCE
LONG ENOUGH JUST TO LET IT SHOW
THAT SHE DESERVES A LITTLE MORE
THAN A ROCKIN ONE NIGHT RODEO
AND IN THE MORNIN WHEN YOU WANNA GO
ALL YOU KNOW YOU’RE GONNA LEAVE IS ONE RED ROSE

MIDNIGHT ROLLS AROUND AND HERE’S HER COWBOY
HE SAYS SHE LOOKS GOOD SHE SAYS SHE KNOWS
HE SAYS SHALL WE GO SHE SAYS DOWN BOY
THIS NIGHT IS GONNA COST YOU ONE RED ROSE

AND ONE RED ROSE………….

MAMAS DRESSED TO KILL FOR THE WEEKEND
SUNDAY MORNING SHE’S BACK ON HER KNEES
WITHIN THESE HALLOWED WALLS NO ONE TO JUDGE HER
AND SUNDAY AFTERNOON-IT’S TASTEE FREEZE
