lyrics

Heartbroken and lonely on a Friday night
Went looking for solace under those neon lights
Half-way under, nearly fell off my chair
When I saw those pink thigh-highs and that big purple hair.

She was leaning on a thug by the back bathroom door
She caught me looking so I looked at the floor
Next thing I knew I felt hot breath on my neck
And she said “Hi, I’m Molly Monroe.”

She caught a real soft landing for a runaway
The kind of thing people tend to share
Let loose those secrets you can’t cut away
I’m sure your Daddy cares.

She paid my tab and dragged me outside
Wanted my keys, said she was good to drive
Who am I to tell such a fine thing no
Oh, Miss Molly Monroe.

She parked by the river and opened up her purse
Handed it to me and said, “boy, do your worst”
Stayed up all night just watching that river roll
Oh, Miss Molly Monroe

I’ve had good, baby, and I’ve had bad
Miss Molly was the best, she left me so glad
Who am I to tell such a fine thing no
Oh, Miss Molly Monroe
