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

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

going to grow up to sleep alone.

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

No mother ever dreams that her daughters
