D Cadd9
Remember when we'd get together
D Cadd9
Burn the candle don't you know
D Cadd9
Smoke and drink and live forever
D Cadd9
No one there to tell us no
This time I'm gonna kill that bastard
This time I'm not gonna miss
This time there ain't no doubt about it
Let me be quite clear on this
Out the back and down the alley
Gone to get your bucket spiked
Come back when you think you need me
Come back any time you like
Chorus:
D Cadd9 D Cadd9
Where'd you get that red dress
D Cadd9 D Cadd9
Where'd you get that red dress
Solo
Yes I'm drunk but damn you're ugly
Tell you one thing, yes I will
Tomorrow morning I'll be sober
You'll be just as ugly still
Chorus
Bridge:
Bm G
I don't know what you got going on
Bm G
But I know I never seen you with that red dress on
D Cadd9
Tell me where'd you get that red dress
Watching out the kitchen window
Right here in this old brown chair
Stack the empties on the table
Toss 'em down the basement stairs
Where'd you get that red dress
Where'd you get that red dress
Remember when we'd get together
Burn the candle don't you know
Smoke and drink and live forever
No one there to tell us no
