Evening Gown Lyrics

[Verse 1]
People say 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

[Chorus]
But I can still paint the town
All the colors of your evening gown
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
To turn grey

[Verse 2]
People say I'm a drinker
But I'm sober half the time
People say I'm a loser
But I get lucky on the side

[Chorus]
Yeah, but I can still paint the town
All the colors of your evening gown
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
To turn grey

[Verse 3]
All my life I waited for
Someone who would show where the bliss is
All my life I waited for
Someone who would take me past the kissing
People say I'm a loner
I like to get lost in the crowds
People call me a dresser
I wear my sports clothes way too loud
[Outro]
Yeah but I can still paint the town
I can shake it and turn it upside down
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
To turn grey

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
