What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I painted quite a picture for the girls in her hometown
2
And she was no exception to the rule
3
Singing all them songs about the places that I've been
4
Made a body feel just like a fool
5
She was like the paper bag that once had held the wine
6
Thrown without no caution to the wind
7
I left her like the empty bottle lyin' on the ground
8
Swearin' I'd pick her up again
9
She was greener than the grass we laid on underneath that Alabama sun
10
I guess she should have known that ol' highway was my home
11
To-do-do-to-do-do do-do-do
12
I said she was prettier than Paris in the rain
13
Lord I filled her full of gypsy lies
14
Swearin' I'd be coming back to fetch her in the spring
15
Too ashamed to look her in the eye
16
She looked about as simple as the cotton dress I've torn
17
Sneakin' in her house at 3 a.m.
18
Her mama liked to question me the day after and I was sure
19
Her intuition told her where we'd been
20
She was greener than the grass we laid on underneath that Alabama sun
21
I guess she should have known that ol' highway was my home
22
She should have never listened to my songs to my songs
23
She should have never listened to my songs
24
To-do-do-to-do-do do-do-do to-do-do-to-do-do do-do-do
