Ladies Night

There was no message left on my phone

When I got home tonight

I hope you didn't leave in anger

I hope you drove with some daylight

I tried to say I'm sorry

But I spit when I fight

You said you need a break from me

If it's just a weekend or a night

I'll drink this Kamikaze

Because I always fall on my own knife

It's another round of hurricanes

Here at table 9

Don't forget to throw a hand granade

At the heart that's out of sight

So you drove down to New Orleans

Where it's always ladies' night

I woke up early in the morning

Your perfume stained the pillow here

Still no call, will you come home at all

With some forgiveness or a tear?

So I'll drink this Kamikaze

To pretend I have no fear

It's another round of hurricanes

Here at table 9

Don't forget to throw a hand granade

At a heart that's out of sight

So when you drive down to New Orleans

See the ghosts of ladies' night

If there's a storm coming down on you tonight

As you drive home I turn on the lights

To remind you that my love is something safe

And something right

The news came on at 10 to say

She had changed her mind

Instead of heading east away

She'll hit home tonight

I hope you can get out in time

Leave early on ladies' night

It's another round of hurricanes

Here at table 9

Don't forget to throw a hand granade

At the heart that's out of sight

When you drove away from home tonight

It might be your last time

When you go down to New Orleans

Where my heart is out of sight

So when you drive down to New Orleans

See the ghosts of ladies' night
