[Verse]
F
If she wants to dance and drink all night
A#
then there’s no one that can stop her.
Dm
She’s going until the house lights
A#
come up or her stomach spills onto the floor.
F
This night is going to end when
A#
we’re damn well ready for it to be over.
Dm
Worked all week long now
A#
the music is playing on our time.
C A#
We do what we do to get by,
and then we need a release

F
You get mixed up with the wrong guys,
A#
you get messed up on the wrong drugs.
Dm
Sometimes the party takes you places
A#
that you didn’t really plan on going.
F
When people see the track marks on her arms
A#
she knows what they’re thinking.
Dm
She keeps on working for that minimum,
A#
as if a high school education offered
any other options.
Dm A#
They don’t know nothing about redemption.
F A#
They don’t know nothing about recovery.
C
Some people just ain’t the type
A#
for marriage and family.

[Verse]
F
She’s out of step with the style,
A#
she don’t know where the actions happening
Dm
You know the downtown club scene
A#
ain’t nothing like it used to be.
F
You reach a point where there’s not a lie
A#
in the world that you could use to make
Dm
the believe your still in your twenties.
A#
They keep getting younger don't they baby.
Dm
She’s not waiting for someone
A#
to come over and ask for the privilege.
F
She can still hear that Rebel Yell
A# C
just as loud as it was in 1983.
There ain’t no Johnny coming home to share
A#
a bed with her and she doesn’t care.
