Sundress

What was God thinkin' when he made that child?

All that pretty wrapped in all that wild

Girl's poor daddy never stood a chance

She liked to drink and she love to dance

He had a shotgun shell with my name on it

I had a fast Firebird with some flames on it

And we snuck off just around midnight

Threw a little red dust in the taillights

Drove far enough to get real close

Pulled off on a no-name road

I still think about her now and then

How the night looked on her skin

Ain't never seen a sunset like

Her sundress settin' in the moonlight

What was she thinkin' when she pulled that strap

Off her shoulder, lookin' back like that?

She was so warm and the grass so cold

I never had, but I never let her know

She had a gold class ring with my name on it

It was one of those

Know you're never gonna be the same moments

And we snuck off just around midnight

Threw a little red dust in the taillights

Drove far enough to get real close

Pulled off on a no-name road

I still think about her now and then

How the night looked on her skin

Ain't never seen a sunset like

Her sundress settin' in the moonlight

Yeah, part of my poor heart never left

Her starlight summer night silhouette

And we snuck off just around midnight

Threw a little red dust in the taillights

Drove far enough to get real close

Pulled off on a no-name road

I still think about her now and then

How the night looked on her skin

Ain't never seen a sunset like

Her sundress settin' in the moonlight

Settin' in the moonlight
