evening gown

jerry lee lewis

people think that i'm high class

but i'm low down all the while

people think that i'm crazy

when i flash that california smile

but i can still

paint the town

all the colors of your evening gown

while i'm waiting for your blonde hair to turn gray

people say you're a drinker

but i get sober half the time - mmm hmm

people say you're a loser

but i get lucky on the side - bet you do

but i can still paint the town

all the colors of your evening gown

while i'm waiting for your blonde hair to turn gray

all my life i've waited for someone who could show me where the bliss is

all my life i've waited for someone who could take me past the kissing?

people say i'm a loner - mmm hmm

i like to get lost in a crowd. don't we all

oh

people say i'm a dresser - pretty sharp

i wear my sport clothes way out loud - way out loud

yeah i can still - i can still paint the old town - town

and i can shake it - shake it

i can turn it upside down. upside down

while i'm waiting.waiting for your blonde hair - for your blond hair to turn gray - gray

girl i'll keep waiting

waiting for your blonde hair to turn gray

i'll keep waiting -

just waiting for your blond hair to turn gray

it will turn gray baby. mmm that's right.
