Pretty Reckless
Album: Co-Starring Too
She come roaring down the street with her windows down
Playing Shine Along by the Black Crowes
Had a beer between her legs and wearing mirrored sunglasses
I’m pretty sure that she stole
She come screeching to a stop almost running over my boots said “Get your hillbilly ass in the car”
It’s ride or die, so I got in and sat down on a Hershey’s chocolate bar
She smiled and she floored it before I closed the door and said “Let’s go get some Tex Mex”
Then Chris sang “Appaloosa” she said “buckle up desperado we gonna make the Kessel run in 10 parsecs”
I love a woman who’s pretty reckless
Wears a bullet on a necklace
Ain’t ashamed of her redneckness
I love a woman who’s pretty reckless
Wears a bullet on a necklace
Ain’t ashamed of her redneckness
I love a woman who’s pretty reckless
At Garcia’s Cantina she ordered green chili enchiladas and 2 cervesas para la beuna suerte
The waiter looked at me and said “mamacita calente”
I smiled and said “ella es bastante salvaje”
She drank her second beer and said, “We should rob a bank”
I said “We could but it’s a holiday”
She said “Another time then, so let’s sneak into Antone’s and hear Charlie Sexton play”
Antone’s was packed with Austin’s dazed and confused
And the ah fish ee ah na doughs of the blues
Gurf Morlix sat in wearing Don Walser’s hat and some lime green tennis shoes
She said “Now I dig Led Zepplin’s Houses of the Holy but I think I love these guys more than Jimmy Page”
Then she threw back her hair, kissed me on the lips and said “If I was wearing a bra I’d throw it on the stage
I love a woman who’s pretty reckless
Wears a bullet on a necklace
Ain’t ashamed of her redneckness
I love a woman who’s pretty reckless
