**DEVIL IN A RED DRESS** **[Intro – Dirty Southern Guitar Riff]** *Yeah...* Well, I don't need no invitation, I don't wait to be asked. If there's trouble in this town tonight, Honey, I'm probably passing through last. **[Verse 1]** I walked in wearing red, Black boots and a crooked smile, Bartender poured me bourbon And said, “Girl, stay for a while.” I said, “Pour it to the ceiling, I'm thirsty for a sin, And if that man keeps staring, I'm gonna let him in.” He had a silver buckle, A cigarette between his teeth, Said, “Baby, you're a handful.” I said, “You ain't seen nothing yet.” **[Pre-Chorus]** I've got a heart like a loaded gun, I like my whiskey neat, And every good intention Looks better underneath my feet. **[Chorus]** I'm the devil in a red dress, Whiskey on my tongue, I don't need no preacher To tell me what I've done. I'm a bad girl's bad habit, I'm a midnight kiss, If you're looking for salvation, Honey, you came to the wrong place for this. Yeah, I'm trouble when I'm sober, Hell when I've had a drink— And if you think you can handle me... **You better think again.** **[Verse 2]** I left him at the motel With a number on his hand, He said he'd never met a woman Who could do what I just did. I laughed and stole his lighter, Kissed him on the cheek, Said, “Darlin', you were fun tonight, But I'm gone before you wake.” Got a bottle on the passenger seat, Got the radio turned high, Got another bad decision Waiting somewhere down the line. **[Pre-Chorus]** I've been called a sinner, I've been called a fool, I've been called a lot of things By men who couldn't keep their cool. **[Chorus]** I'm the devil in a red dress, Whiskey on my tongue, I don't need no preacher To tell me what I've done. I'm a bad girl's bad habit, I'm a midnight kiss, If you're looking for salvation, Honey, you came to the wrong place for this. Yeah, I'm trouble when I'm sober, Hell when I've had a drink— And if you think you can handle me... **You better think again.** **[Guitar Solo – Filthy Southern Blues]** *Oh, come on, boys...* **[Bridge – Slow, Dirty Breakdown]** I've loved some men like a loaded revolver, Held 'em close till the bullets ran dry. I've cried some tears over fools who deserved me, Then laughed when I watched 'em say goodbye. I don't break hearts... **I collect 'em.** I don't chase love... **I let it chase me.** And if you're dumb enough to follow... Well, baby... **That's your mistake.** **[Drum Fill]** **[Final Chorus – Huge, Raw Vocal]** I'm the devil in a red dress, Whiskey on my tongue, I don't need no preacher To tell me what I've done. I'm a bad girl's bad habit, I'm a midnight kiss, If you're looking for salvation, Honey, you came to the wrong place for this. I'm trouble when I'm sober, Hell when I've had a drink, Got a highway full of secrets And a devil's way of thinking. So pour me something stronger, Turn that jukebox up— 'Cause tonight I'm feeling dangerous... **And baby, that's enough!** **[Outro – Guitar Riff]** Devil in a red dress... Whiskey in my hand... You thought you found an angel... **You should've asked who I am.** *Guitar crunch.* **Yeah, baby...** *Fade.*
