She Wore A Calico Dress

She wore a calico dress with high heeled shoes to match

Her hair was curled & she wore a little make-up, just a touch

Evening out on the town, ready to paint it red

 

With her estranged husband in jail, no bail, no hesitation to stay out late

Over time he used her, abused her, too often accused her as she ran away

Ran to the nightclubs, hung out with his friends, his payback was a b***h

Ended up drunk on tequila & beer, danced with men under neon lights

 

A country girl at heart, a housewife & mother, turned to a woman scorned

 

Cowboy boot/hats, men took notice as she danced night after night

A casual affair, one led to another, amused her yet confused her even more

Love had her down, shed too many tears, fought too many fights

Into the night she strayed & she began to like it that way

Cold beer to drown her troubles & a shot of Jose Quervo to wash it down

Open arms always willing to hold her, middle of the night at closing time

 

Day shines bright, eye swollen & red, hungover from the night before

Remembering things doesn't come easy as you made a fool of yourself

Excuses, you make so many damn excuses... Oh yeah, by the way

She wore a calico dress with high-heeled shoes to match

She is me...
