lyrics

what’s a girl like you doing here in this part of town
if’n you drink half as good as you sing i bet you really throw ‘em down
and you’re quite the package ain’tcha now the way you look in them jeans
what you pushin’ a buck-twenty i’m telling you honey i’ve got an eye for these things

and everybody’s watching me bein’ so sweet to you
they’re on the edge of their seats waitin’ to see how you’re gonna choose
and everybody’s noticing you ain’t pushin’ me away
so if this thing goes south and you run your mouth you know what they’ll say

well you talk a big game you’re one of them guys
if you think you’re so slick why don’t you go pick on someone your own size
and every woman in here’s been in my shoes before
upstaged by some man with one eye on his hands and one eye on the door

if i had a nickel for every line i’ve had to endure
you can be sure i’d be getting on just fine
if wishes were horses you can bet i would ride
so fast and so far away from this bar and right out of this night

it ain’t what you’re saying quite as much as your style
and despite what you think i don’t need a drink and i ain’t gonna smile
so quit talkin’ about my singin’ and keep your eyes off my jeans
boy you oughta know that your quarter won’t work in my machine

She fronts a 4-piece band whose sound is reminiscent of seventies and eighties country radio. ... more
