Prompt / Lyrics
Long blonde hair hangin’ low down her back, Blue eyes sharp as a heart attack. She’ll smile like she’s heaven-sent, While the truth gets twisted and bent. You think you’ve found your saving grace, Till that halo slips right off her face. (Pre-Chorus) She’ll patch you up, then tear the seam, Turn your love into her scheme. (Chorus) She drinks a fifth of Barton’s before the break of day, Laughs like sin when she gets her way. Says “You’re the one who’s breakin’ trust,” While her conscience gathers dust. Oh, the devil don’t dance, he just grins her way— She drinks a fifth of Barton’s vodka every damn day. (Verse 2) She’s got a friend who thinks they’re tight, But she’s spillin’ her name in the neon light. Spreads lies sweet as cherry wine, Then swears to God she’s pure and fine. She’ll help you, love you, play the part, Till she’s halfway through your heart. (Pre-Chorus) Kindness like a loaded gun, Once she’s done, you’re the guilty one. (Chorus) She drinks a fifth of Barton’s before the break of day, Wipes her tears, then walks away. Cries “You cheated!” through her haze, While she’s burnin’ down her yesterdays. Oh, the devil don’t dance, he just grins when she sways— She drinks a fifth of Barton’s vodka every damn day. (Bridge) Lipstick stains on a Bible verse, Every prayer just makes it worse. Her beauty’s built from smoke and lies, And Lord, those blue eyes hypnotize. (Final Chorus) She drinks a fifth of Barton’s before the break of day, Got angels fooled and fools to play. She’ll love you quick, then fade to gray, Leave your heart where the vodka lay. Oh, the devil don’t dance, he just laughs when she prays— She drinks a fifth of Barton’s vodka every damn day. (Outro Verse) Now the mirror’s cracked and the room’s gone still, She’s chasin’ ghosts she never will. The bottle’s dry, her charm’s gone cold, And all her stories have grown old. No one left to hear her say— She drinks a fifth of Barton’s vodka every damn day.
