Red Dress Blues

Im alive feeling good just like a sinner
With a buzz and my blue jeans on
Wearing a smile, it ain't been there in a while
Soon I know its gonna be gone
She was off in the distance
Melting in the mornin sun
Nobody bothering no one
We all just wanna have some fun

There she is on the street lookin pretty
In the city with that red dress on
New shoes, suitcase, big plans
Man she knows what it means to be young
But she didn't know the difference
She was walking towards a setting sun
She's not bothering no one
Just tryin not have some fun

There's my friend on the corner lookin scared
Chained up to a suitcase of blow
Here comes a man with a gun in his hand
Trying to claim just what he says he was owed
He's not searching for forgiveness
He just wants to slow the setting sun
Nobody bothering no one
Were all just trying to have some fun

Back at home all alone with my thoughts
Wondering what questions I can't think to ask
Gun shots, wrong spot, she drops,
Man, I swear it all happened so fast
Now she's off in the distance
Setting with the burning sun
Not bothering nobody
She was just trying to have some fun
