Strongheaded Woman
We met in Las Vegas at the slot machines You pulled me like the aces and the queens With your sequinned blazer and your rhinestone smile You came ablaze out of the flaming red lights
You said I was the seetest thing you've ever seem You said that we could be a winning team But when you spoke of honeymoon and Chemps Elisee It looked like lady luck had smiled down on me
But the only threshhold that you carried me over Was the borderline of trash Before the night wa over
And it's gonna take a strongheaded woman Picking up the whole of this mess And getting out of this hired dress And it's gonna take a strgongheaded woman Picking up my chips if I'm able And get off of his highway And back to the tables
And while I dreamed of Paris through a veil of beer You said let's go and tie the knot right here Oh but is the way to treat your fiancee A drive-through chapel and an all-in buffet And a fake priest dressed as Elvis sang 'Love me tender' While a hired dwarf witness played an imitation fender
And it's gonna take a strongheaded woman Picking up the whole of this mess Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And getting out of this hired dress And it's gonna take a strgongheaded woman Picking up my chips if I'm able And get off of his highway And back to the tables
Now, You can say I'm dumb and blind Or blame it on my trusting mind But with dime and dance romances Well, you gotta take your chances Now I'm at the hot dog stand With a motel key in hand And I'm runnin' And I'm runnin'
And it's gonna take a strongheaded woman Picking up the whole of this mess And getting out of this hired dress And it's gonna take a strgongheaded woman Picking up my chips if I'm able And get off of his highway
And it's gonna take a strongheaded woman Picking up the whole of this mess And getting out of this hired dress And it's gonna take a strgongheaded woman Picking up my chips if I'm able And make sure that before dawn I'll be back at the tables
