Ray LaMontagne
Roadhouse Girl
Mama says that blue jeans
They ain't fit for a lady
My mama says the barroom
That's no place for a child
Annie takes to nine ball
Like a dog takes to lazy
She'll drive the boys crazy
She'll draw a fine line
She's a roadhouse girl
And that's all I'm a-sayin'
After all, there ain't no law
Against you havin' a good time
A roadhouse girl
And I ain't complaining
She might be crass, hard to please
But she's a good friend of mine
She got soft emotions
But she don't let it show none
She sure as hell won't let you know, son
Lest you take your time
I've seen the very best of 'em fall
But she don't take no shine to you at all
She'll just kick your ass at pinball
And let you buy the wine
She's a roadhouse girl
And that's all I'm a-saying
After all, there ain't no law
Against you having a good time
A roadhouse girl
And I ain't complaining
She might be crass, hard to please
But she's a good friend of mine
She's been thrown
One too many times
All the love that she has known
Is the hardest kind
Her mama says that blue jeans
They ain't fit for a lady
Her mama says the barroom
No place for a child
But Annie takes to nine ball
Like a dog takes to lazy
She'll drive them boys crazy
She'll draw a fine line
She's a roadhouse girl
And that's all I'm a-saying
After all, there ain't no law
Against you having a good time
Roadhouse girl
And I ain't complaining
She might be crass, hard to please
But she's a good friend of mine
Oh, she might be crass, hard to please
But she's a good friend of mine
