from Song A Week, Vol. 8 by James Tristan Redding

about

Written with Brad Carl.

lyrics

She was half in the bag she was headed my way
She was workin' high heels like a champ
She said oh honey dear wanna' get outta' here
While she sipped the drink in my hand

Gotta' work in the mornin' alimony is due
I guess I better make up my mind
Clock on the wall says one minute to twelve
I'm 'bout to run outta' time

After midnight is when the freaks come out
After midnight what's when the werewolves howl
Last call bottoms up
Breakin' out in handcuffs
Lookin' at my watch 11:59
Nothing good happens after midnight

I had reservations she sensed my hesitation
She tried to sweeten the pot
She made it hard to resist she would not cease or desist
Gave it everythin' she's got
