Tekst piosenki
If she wants to dance and drink all night
Well there's no one that can stop her.
She's going until the house lights come up
or her stomach spills onto the floor.
This night is gonna end
when we're damn well ready for it to be over.
Worked all week long
now the music is playing on our time.
Yeah we do what we do to get by
and then we need a release!
You get mixed up with the wrong guys.
You get messed up on the wrong drugs.
Sometimes the party takes you places that you didn't really plan on going.
When people see the track marks on her arms she knows what they're thinking.
She keeps on working for that minimum
as if a high school education gave you any other options, you know.
They don't know nothing about redemption.
They don't know nothing about recovery.
Some people just aren't the type for marriage and family.
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to be a junkie.
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to sleep alone.
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to be a junkie.
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to sleep alone.
She's out of step with the style.
She don't know where the action's happening.
You know the downtown club scene ain't nothing like it used to be.
You reach a point where there's not a lie in the world
that you could use to make the boys believe you're still in your twenties, oh oh.
They keep getting younger, don't they, baby.
She's not waiting for someone to come over and ask for the privilege.
She can still hear that Rebel Yell just as loud as it was in 1983, you know!
There ain't no Johnny coming home to share a bed with her
and she doesn't care!
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to be a junkie.
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to sleep alone.
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to be a junkie.
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to sleep alone.
No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to be a junkie.
And if she had to live it all over again you know she wouldn't change anything for the world.
