lyrics

You turned your back on trees
But lived for the airbrushed roses
On each protracted nail
And for strutting under disco lights
Into the arms of any danger
In the likeness of dangerous men

Years later you stumbled into motherhood
With a bottle in each hand
One to forget the pain
The other to forget about having to forget
Whatever it was behind those little girl eyes
I still remember your thighs
Choking from the cut of circulation
How you wore your skirt so tight

And your intoxicated laugh
Spilling into the night
After declaring you've always been
A tequila girl and that's true
But we also knew
You were never a real, real blonde
You were never a real, real blonde
You were never a real, real blonde
You were never a real, real blonde
