Story Behind The Song
We were at a bar and saw this whole story unfold - she was cute and clearly had no clue what a creep he was. He was that typical "Gods' Gift to Warthogs" type, strutting around very sure of himself. The song was born in that bar. I always wondered what happened to that girl.
Song Description
A pretty girl in a very short red dress comes into a bar with a sleazey guy. He really only wants one thing and once he gets it starts flirting with a cheap blonde in the bar.

Lyrics
Red Dress Eb
Words by Tony Laviola / Louise Peacock Sept 2006, Melody- Tony Laviola/Louise Peacock
Sitting at the bar with a cooler in her hand
She's half in the bag and listenin' to the band
The guy she came with is flirting with the blonde
She's startin' to think that she's been conned.
And she's just another girl, from a nowhere little town
Got hooked up with a no-good clown
If her Mama saw her now, she would cry
If her daddy were here, that clown would die. 4
Red dress // long hair //,
Legs that go right up to there 4
Bright eyes, // sweet smile //
Here's a girl with lots of style ..... 2,3 ,4, 1,2, 3, (oh baby)
SOLO OVER A AND C
Sayin' words of love that she really wants to hear
He whispers them softly into her ear
Then he says " you sure look great in red"
as he pulls her dress right over her head
She pushes him away, and she tries to say 'No"
He laughs at her and he says "let's go"
He's back at the bar, and boastin' real loud
When she goes back in, she's walkin' proud 4
Red dress // long hair //,
Legs that go right up to there 4
Bright eyes //, sweet smile //
Here's a girl with lots of style ..... 2,3 ,4, 1,2, 3, 4
Red dress // long hair //,
Legs that go right up to there 4
Bright eyes, sweet smile
Here's a girl with lots of style ..... ,4,
..........Here's a girl with lots of style ....4
..........Here's a girl with lots of style ........(END).
