"Midnight Tiger" lyrics

"Midnight Tiger"

You can't tell me nothin' I don't know about you
I've seen every trophy on your wall
Surprise goodbyes and tears on the sheets
From promises that you couldn't keep
You've got every red flag that I need

So now I'm goin' home with a midnight tiger
Scratching at my back to get in the car
Now I'm in the jaws of a midnight tiger
But drunk enough I don't care anymore

She got yellow eyes and pink sequin stripes
Flowered fingernails sharp and long
I know what you're thinking did I make it out alive
Tattered Rosie cheeks and 10 feet tall

So now I'm goin' home with a midnight tiger
Scratching at my back to get in the car
Now I'm in the jaws of a midnight tiger
But drunk enough I don't care anymore

I've become a regular at the local watering hole
Even lonely women need a drink
If you should ever find me wounded and actin' hurt
Let me be 'cause my trap is set for a tiger

Now I'm goin' home with a midnight tiger
Scratching at my back to get in the car
Now I'm in the jaws of a midnight tiger
But drunk enough I don't care anymore
Drunk enough I don't care anymore
