Lyrics

WHY CAN’T I MEET A GIRL TO TAKE HOME TO MAMA

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Let’s strut
She was gas-lit up like a ten second fuse
Dancin', she's crazy off the chain
Jumpin', flippin' like Queen Hoodoo
She’s not only been around the block
She's worn out a closet.….full of shoes

She looked at me like she saw me before
Sultry look with fire in her eyes
I'd seen it a hundred times or more
I'm done being the last one gone
And draggin' what's left out the door

Tonight's pleasure is tomorrow's pain…

So why can’t I meet a girl to take home to mama
Someone who feels like more than just tonight
Maybe I’ll just keep dreamin’, dealing with the drama
Guess I keep living stories that don't end right

So I asked her, do you live around here
Or did you ride your bike
She watches games shows in her underwear
In her depraved indifference
No way she's the Woman of the Year

I’m the weak link in the chain
Homeschooled by a day drinker
Its always been a hit-and-miss
About shot my wad being a freethinker
It took a lot of money to get like this
Tonight's pleasure is tomorrow's pain

But, I'm going to meet a girl to take home to mama
Someone who feels like more than just one night
I'll keep living 'til the story ends right
I'll find the girl to take home to mama
