Mama Don't Make Me Put on the Dress Again lyrics

[Verse 1]

Mama don't make me put on the dress again

I can't stand the way it opens when I spin

Ribbon bows around my shoulder, and I'm only getting older

Mama don't make me put on the dress again

[Verse 2]

Daddy don't make me fancy dance around

Painted up in that make-up like a clown

If I see another stocking, lord

I swear to God, I'm walking, lord

Daddy don't make me fancy dance around

[Chorus 1]

Well, I'm coming home alone for the hundredth time or so

It gets harder on my hard earned money's dime

To the bottle in my basket, will it answer if I ask it:

Doing right or am I doing time?

[Verse 3]

Lover don't make me hit the road again

I can barely feel your fingers on my skin

I'm been booking every city

Looking sad, but looking pretty, looking...

Lover don't make me hit the road the again

[Verse 4]

Brother, don't make me tell you where I've been

Running around in circles made of sin

I've been drinking like my daddy

And he ain't ever had his last one, had he?

Brother, don't make me tell you where I've been

[Chorus 1]

Well, I'm coming home alone for the hundredth time or so

It gets harder on my hard earned money's dime

To the bottle in my basket, will it answer if I ask it:

Doing right or am I doing time?

[Bridge]

Farther from my home, the more I wish it

The longer I've been gone, the more I miss it

Ribbon bows around my shoulder, and I swear I'm only getting older

Mama don't make me put on the dress again

[Chorus 2]

Well, I'm coming home alone for the hundredth time or so

It gets harder on my hard earned money's dime

To the bottle in my basket, will it answer if I ask it:

Doing right or am I doing time?

Doing right or am I doing time?
