She was cool, she was hot
She was smokin' a lot at the end of the bar
She had more than one
Too many buttons undone on that blouse she wore Starin' too long at her
Lost in that Skynyrd song was his first mistake

She's like whiskey to a drunk
She's like poker to a gambler
She's like a bullet in a gun She's in his blood, he can't explain the rush
When he gets with her

She's like whiskey to a drunk
She's like poker to a gambler
She's like a bullet in a gun She's in his blood, he can't explain the rush
When he gets with her
Might be the death of him
But he's addicted, man, he can't quit her She's in his blood, he can't explain the rush
When he gets with her
Might be the death of him
But he's addicted, man, he can't quit her She was cool, she was hot
She was walkin' 'cross the parkin' lot with some other guy
Well, he was jealous, he was jonsin'
And he wound up on the wrong end of a forty-five
