"Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)" lyrics - RONNIE DUNN

Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sittin' in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high
Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singin' a song

[Chorus:]
Yeah, a pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9, beautiful, tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all

I saw her heading to the table
With a tall walking big black cat
Charlie said, "I hope you're able, boy
I'm telling you she knows where it's at"
Then suddenly we heard a siren
Everybody started to run
A-jumping out of doors and tables
Well, I heard somebody shootin' a gun
DA was pumping my left hand
And she was a-holding my right
I told her don't get scared 'cause you're gonna be spared
I've gotta be forgivin' if I wanna spend my living

[Chorus:]
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all

[Outro:]
Had it all
Had it all
Had it all
Had it all
Had it all
