All These Pretty Women
Chorus:
All these pretty women
They drive me crazy
And I’m as crazy as a loon
All these pretty women
Drove me to drinking
Every morning and afternoon
I walked the straight and narrow
Until one night in Memphis
A dark haired beauty waltzed me across the line
Her kisses tasted like old bourbon
But her broken promises
Burned like Tennessee shine
Chorus:
All these pretty women
They drive me crazy
And I’m as crazy as a loon
All these pretty women
Drove me to drinking
Every morning and afternoon
A blue eyed Texas beauty
Did her best to drown me
In a flood of tears that kept falling like rain
I’ve never been a bad weather man
So one rainy afternoon
I jumped a northbound train
Chorus:
All these pretty women
They drive me crazy
And I’m as crazy as a loon
All these pretty women
Drove me to drinking
Every morning and afternoon
I wound up here in Cleveland
With the hard buckeye women
Who look so warm while they’re deep freezing your heart
Now I’m surrounded by ice cold things
And there’s no place else to go
Except this smoky bar
Bridge:
Lord, I am just a victim
Of circumstances that never end
A cold and thirsty traveler
In need of a friend
Chorus:
All these pretty women
They drive me crazy
And I’m as crazy as a loon
All these pretty women
Drove me to drinking
Every morning and afternoon
