Nitty Gritty Dirt Band | Lyrics | Dry Town

I was born in Dublin town
Where there was not too much going on down
For girls whose only hope
Was not to find a man who could piss in a pot

So early I heard my first guitar
And I knew I wanted to be a big star
And I told my poor, worried father
Said, I ain't gonna go to school no more

'Cuz see, I wanna look cool and I wanna look good
With my hair slicked back and my black leather boots
Wanna stand up tall with my boobs upright
And feel real hot when the makeup's nice

I get sexy underneath the lights
Like I wanna f*** every man in sight
Baby, come home with me tonight
Make you feel good, make you feel alright

I'm going away to London
I got myself a big fat plan
I'm gonna be a singer in a rock 'n' roll band
And I'm gonna change everything I can

Sorry to be disappointing
Wasn't born for no marrying
Wanna make my own living singing
Strong independent Pagan woman singing

And I feel real cool and I feel real good
Got my hair shaved off and my black thigh boots
I stand up tall with my pride upright
I feel real hot when the makeup's nice

I get sexy underneath them lights
Like I wanna f*** every man in sight
Baby, come home with me tonight
Make you feel good, make you feel alright

I'm glad, I came here to London
I have myself some big fat fun
And I have even made some mon'
I got the most angelic son

My baby daughter is golden
And I do what I like for fun
And I'm happy in my prime

Daddy I'm fine
Daddy I'm fine
Daddy I'm fine
Daddy I'm fine
Daddy I love you
