Strongheaded Woman

歌詞

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 sweetest thing you’ve ever seen You said that we could be a winning team And when you spoke of honeymoon and Champs-Élysées It looked like lady luck had smiled down on me But the only threshold that you carried me over Was the borderline of trash Before the night was 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 strongheaded 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 this 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 And getting out of this hired dress And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman (woman) Picking up my chips if I’m able And get off of this highway And back to the tables, yeah 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 strongheaded woman (woman) Picking up my chips if I’m able And get off of this highway And back to the tables With a bag of quarters and a winning scheme To have and to hold was a gamblers dream But when the plot unfolded to its full extent To get the hell out was the promised plan Cause the only help you gave him ? Was ? to use to write my top knot story And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman, yeah Picking up the whole of this mess And getting out of this hired dress And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman (woman) Picking up my chips if I’m able (woohoo) And get off of this highway And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman Picking up the whole of this mess (woohoo) And getting out of this hired dress And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman (woman) Picking up my chips if I’m able (woohoo) And make sure that before dawn I’ll be back at the tables
