If she wants to dance and drink all night   Well there’s no one that can stop her   She’s going until the house lights come up   Or her stomach spills onto the floor   This night is gonna end   When we’re damn well ready for it to be over   Worked all week long now the music is playing on our time   We do what we do to get by   And then we need a release      You get mixed up with the wrong guys   You get messed up on the wrong drugs   Sometimes the party takes you places that you didn’t really plan on going   When people see the track marks on her arms   She knows what they’re thinking   She keeps on working for that minimum   As if a high school education gave you any other options, you know.   They don’t know nothing about redemption   They don’t know nothing about recovery   Some people just aren't the type for marriage and family      No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie   No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to sleep alone   No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie   No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to sleep alone      She’s out of step with the style   She don’t know where the actions happening   You know the downtown club scene ain't nothing like it used to be   You reach a point where there’s not a lie in the world   That you could use to make the boys believe you're still in you twenties   But they keep getting younger, don't they baby?   She’s not waiting for someone to come over and ask for the privilege   She can still hear that Rebel Yell just as loud as it was in 1983, you know   There ain't no Johnny coming home to share a bed with her   And she doesn’t care      No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie   No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to sleep alone   No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie   No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to sleep alone   No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie   And if she had to live it all over again you know she wouldn’t change anything for the world
