I just pulled up in my old jalopy
In the middle of nowhere under a nowhere sky
I heard that old hound dog music on the juke box playin'
Man I was hunkering for a burger an' fries
So I paid my two bits and sat at my table
With its red chequered cloth like an old sarong
When I saw her swayin' to the music of that boy from Memphis
He was sneekin' up beside her with his serenading song
And the way that she was moving, hell! it got me going
She was dressed up all in red just like a sunset glow
Her skirt was like blood stain on my conscience
Man! I had to know her before I hit the road
[CHORUS]
Baby's got her red dress
Baby's got her red dress
Baby's got her red dress on
Ooh! baby's got her red dress
Baby's got her red dress
Baby's got her red dress on
Out here on the highway where the road is endless
The heat can drive you crazy like an old racoon
Leave me in the shadows where it's nice an cosy
Let me find a motel, an' we can rent a room
She looked at me and smiled, it nearly drove me crazy
She said she had a lover, but I didn't care, amen
The way that she was dressed, told me I'll be her lover
And to hell with what was comin', I just wanted her there an' then
[CHORUS]
'coz baby's got her red dress
Baby's got her red dress
Baby's got her red dress on
Ooh! baby's got her red dress
Baby's got her red dress
Baby's got her red dress on
