Lyrics

[Verse 1] Go on and put on that dress that all the bad boys like I know your daddy ain't home, so ride with me tonight You always wind up here in a puddle of tears Them boys are out and they're angry and they're lookin' for blood In the back of a blue, old pickup truck You've got nowhere to go although you're all gussied up [Verse 2] There's so much whiskey in his Coke, it'll make her nose bend But she swears that his love is a damn godsend She known God since she was a child She used to play in the yard and she would dream of one day 'Til the world came around and took her dreamin' away Told her how to dress and act and smile [Pre-Chorus] She's a Carolina smokeshow He's an asshole from back home She'll never make it out alive Of that small-town bar scene Where small vices kill your big dreams He'd take you home, but he's too drunk to drive [Chorus] I've been here, I've been up all night Thinkin' 'bout a life with you and I One you'll never know 'Cause you're a small-town smokeshow Well, I've been here, I've been up all night Thinkin' 'bout a life with you and I One you'll never know 'Cause you're a small-town smokeshow [Verse 1] Go on and put on that dress that all the bad boys like I know your daddy ain't home, so ride with me tonight You always wind up here in a puddle of tears Them boys are out and they're angry and they're lookin' for blood In the back of a blue, old pickup truck You've got nowhere to go although you're all gussied up [Outro/Chorus] I've been here, I've been up all night Thinkin' 'bout a life with you and I One you'll never know 'Cause you're a small-town smokeshow Well, I've been here, I've been up all night Thinkin' 'bout a life with you and I One you'll never know 'Cause you're a small-town smokeshow
