Barroom Girls

Lyrics

Oh, the night came undone like a party dress
 And fell at her feet in a beautiful mess
 The smoke and the whiskey came home in her curls
 And they crept through the dreams of the barroom girls
 ♪
 Well, she tosses and turns 'cause the sun is unkind
 And the heat of the day is coming in through the blinds
 Leave all the blue skies for the rest of the world
 'Cause the neon will shine for the barroom girls
 All the barroom girls go by your side
 Like the ponies who pass on a carousel ride
 And all of the colours go 'round in a swirl
 When you dance in the arms of the barroom girls
 ♪
 Now she rolls to her feet when she can't sleep no more
 Looks at her clothes lying out on the floor
 Last night's spangles and yesterday's pearls
 Are the bright morning stars of the barroom girls
 Last night's spangles and yesterday's pearls
 Are the bright morning stars of the barroom girls
