[Verse]
E
If she wants to dance and drink all night
A
then there’s no one that can stop her.
C#m
She’s going until the house lights
A
come up or her stomach spills onto the floor.
E
This night is going to end when
A
we’re damn well ready for it to be over.
C#m
Worked all week long now
A
the music is playing on our time.
B A
We do what we do to get by,
and then we need a release
[Chorus]

[Verse]
E
You get mixed up with the wrong guys,
A
you get messed up on the wrong drugs.
C#m
Sometimes the party takes you places
A
that you didn’t really plan on going.
E
When people see the track marks on her arms
A
she knows what they’re thinking.
C#m
She keeps on working for that minimum,
A
as if a high school education offered
any other options.
C#m A
They don’t know nothing about redemption.
E A
They don’t know nothing about recovery.
B
Some people just ain’t the type
A
for marriage and family.
[Chorus]
E
No mother ever dreams that her daughters
going to grow up to be a junkie.
(Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah)
A
Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah

No mother ever dreams that her daughters
going to grow up to sleep alone.

[Verse]
E
She’s out of step with the style,
A
she don’t know where the actions happening
C#m
You know the downtown club scene
A
ain’t nothing like it used to be.
E
You reach a point where there’s not a lie
A
in the world that you could use to make
C#m
the believe your still in your twenties.
A
They keep getting younger don't they baby.
C#m
She’s not waiting for someone
A
to come over and ask for the privilege.
E
She can still hear that Rebel Yell
A B
just as loud as it was in 1983.
There ain’t no Johnny coming home to share
A
a bed with her and she doesn’t care.
[Chorus]
E
No mother ever dreams that her daughters
going to grow up to be a junkie.
