Dressed [E] that way
_ [A] Brown necktie with matching vest
Goes with winter [D] shoes
We get the
[A] Boxes on our back porch
[E] Put it in and [A] it burns out here
[D] I _ _ _ _ just [A] know it's fast
_ [D] Facts gonna kill [A] us
We got cigarette and hammer [E] fingers
In the back
We [A] wouldn't let it go
I don't know how she do it
Every [D] week I work
With a [A] crack and power
[E] Helping women, [A] money, and gold
[D] We _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _

_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
need to send the
Blood on the saddle
And rock the [D] young ladies
Bring the young ladies to [A] the radio
For poor old guys [E] can't do
A [A] little drive to church
On a Sunday
And if they don't [D] look at you
Same glass mirror
[A] On your window
[E] Every day and [A] every year
[D] I don't know how
I just _ _ know it
[A] _ _ [D] Facts gonna kill [A] us
Cigarette and hammer fingers

_ _ don't know how _ she do it
She went to school in the [D] morning rain
_ Trimming [A] hair
And milking cows
For a [E] senator's sewing machine _
[A] Elizabeth Arden does her business
And she walks
Through her college [D] class
Using [A] factory-made comic books
[E] After grandpa [A] died
[D] And a friend called The carpenter
He could have the [A] sewing machine
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ Cigarette and hammer fingers
[E] In the back
[A] We wouldn't let it go _
She do it every [D] week _ _
_ [A] _ I [E] don't know _ [A] how

Facts _ [D] gonna kill [A] us
Cigarette and hammer fingers
[E] In the back
[A] We wouldn't let it go
I don't know how she do it
Every [D] week I work
_ _ [A] _ _
