Bad Girl Blues

I've been a bad girl

And I can't deny

I wish I was a bridesmaid

Instead of always the bride

I've had good times

And I've known pain

But it's hard to remember

The things I can change



Like feeling broke down, low down in high heel shoes

I've got them good time bad girl blues



I've been the bad girl

In this little town

I used to walk the tightwire

Ended up with the clown

I've known the bad boys

And it bothers me some

Not that it wasn't real love

But it wasn't even much fun



Like feeling broke down, low down in high heel shoes

I've got them good time bad girl blues



Well, I've drank and I've stole

Danced on a pole

Traded gifts given in life into dirt for money



I've been the bad girl

So I've been told

Honey, I've been a lot of things

Now I'm just growing old

Holding on tightly

To a long ago past

Trying to tread lightly

Fading out fast
