Red Dress
© A. Zoli & M. Hart 2014 (ASCAP)

I wore a red dress to get that man's attention
Black heels and silk lingerie I did not fail to mention
I let him buy me drinks and tell his whole life story
Tales of a bitter man who had never tasted glory
Well he was, looking for a new life
And on that night
 
When the rain, rain, rain was pouring down 
I said take this cold black gun and put that bastard in the ground.
I want him gone, gone, gone before the morning comes
Here's half for now, you'll get the rest when it's done
Here's half for now, you'll get the rest when it's done 
 
I saw her sitting there a flame amongst the darkness
Pink lips and a cigarette, I can't forget that red dress
She made me soon forget I was a man of honor
Never broke a single law, until I came upon her 
Now I would do anything she liked
And on that night 
 
When the rain, rain, rain was pouring down 
She said this cold black gun and put that bastard in the ground.
I want him gone, gone, gone before the morning comes
Here's half for now, you'll get the rest when it's done
Here's half for now, you'll get the rest when it's done 
 
Oh I saw his face it made me shiver
Oh I paid the price you pull the trigger
 
Oh When that rain, rain, rain comes pouring down 
I said take this cold black gun and put that bastard in the ground.
I want him gone, gone, gone before the morning comes
Here's half for now, you'll get the rest when it's done
Oh when that rain, rain, rain comes pouring down I swear
I'll never say I'm sorry that poor bastard's in the ground 
I want him gone, gone, gone before the morning comes 
Here's half for now, you'll get the rest when it's done 
Here's half for now, you'll get the rest when it's done
