Carson McHone – Dram Shop Gal lyrics
[Verse 1]
He said "Be my gal, my soap-and-water gal
"Someone who'll keep me from downtown"
But I still like to do my runnin’ 'round
So it could not be, I would not be bound
[Verse 2]
Sometimes the night is like a nasty drug
The way it do me is just like a hug
It wraps me in warm embrace
Leaves me hunting [/wanting?] more than just a taste
[Chorus 1]
'Cause I’m a dram shop gal
I like my spinning 'round
I'm just a dram shop gal
Spin me 'round
[Verse 3]
I don't trust no man that slick back his hair
Though he may be a millionaire
He got sticky hands and too much time
Leave me to wonder how he made that dime
[Chorus 2]
But I'm a dram shop gal
I need my spinning 'round
So I'll be your dram shop gal
If you’ll spin me ’round
[Verse 4]
Good times, they come but are bound to go
How long you got 'em, you’ll never know
So don't dance too slow, don't think too loud
The band that's playin’ likes a rowdy crowd
[Chorus 3]
And I'm a dram shop gal
Spin me 'round
Just a dram shop gal
Spin me 'round
[Outro]
He said "Be my gal, my soap and water gal
"Someone who'll keep me from downtown"
But I'm a dram shop gal, like my spinning 'round
I'm just a dram shop gal, I'll only spin you 'round
He said "Be my gal, my soap-and-water gal
"Someone who'll keep me from downtown"
But I still like to do my runnin’ 'round
So it could not be, I would not be bound
[Verse 2]
Sometimes the night is like a nasty drug
The way it do me is just like a hug
It wraps me in warm embrace
Leaves me hunting [/wanting?] more than just a taste
[Chorus 1]
'Cause I’m a dram shop gal
I like my spinning 'round
I'm just a dram shop gal
Spin me 'round
[Verse 3]
I don't trust no man that slick back his hair
Though he may be a millionaire
He got sticky hands and too much time
Leave me to wonder how he made that dime
[Chorus 2]
But I'm a dram shop gal
I need my spinning 'round
So I'll be your dram shop gal
If you’ll spin me ’round
[Verse 4]
Good times, they come but are bound to go
How long you got 'em, you’ll never know
So don't dance too slow, don't think too loud
The band that's playin’ likes a rowdy crowd
[Chorus 3]
And I'm a dram shop gal
Spin me 'round
Just a dram shop gal
Spin me 'round
[Outro]
He said "Be my gal, my soap and water gal
"Someone who'll keep me from downtown"
But I'm a dram shop gal, like my spinning 'round
I'm just a dram shop gal, I'll only spin you 'round
