Darlene
was a stripper on the outskirts of town
she filled her bra with dollar bills while dancing all around
I didn't have to worry cause I knew the bouncer well
All I had to worry bout was going straight to hell
Sheila
was an older gal who lived down by the shore
the only thing she wanted was for me to give her more
the only problem here was I'd give her all I had
but it was never good enough which made me pretty sad
Gina
was a writer I met her in a bar
one night I was getting tight and heading for my car
she took me home and threw me on the bed
she pulled a shotgun off the wall and stuck it to my head
she said she was with child and tomorrow we would wed
when she fell asleep out the door I quickly fled
Alice
she liked vodka by the bottle or the case
We'd spend the afternoon with orange juice to chase
she'd be so drunk by noon there wasn't much to say
she wasn't much to look at but the guitar she could play
she sang me songs while we proceeded to get drunk
until we went into a sweat soaked vodka funk
Paula
lived downstairs with her son and a cat
she'd come to my apartment with some ice cream just to chat
but little did I know the cream was laced with speed
and she tried to tie me up while I was smoking weed
Oh the women I have known and the places I have been
while running with the devil and living a life of sin
The only regret that I have and I surely have a few
is that I never met a woman that I wished I never knew
Maureen
was a bartender a mixologist I think
I'd come for happy hour and she'd be pouring drinks
we had some laughs and spent some time down at the beach
but when I tried to call her she was always hard to reach
Beatrice
was the high school queen who I secretly admired
staring at her beauty I never would get tired
little did I know when we got together in my van
she told me she liked women and was a lesbian
Veronica
liked to go to shows at night and matinees
we'd go to the movies with the money I had made
But when the lights went out and the reels began to spin
is when the action in our seats really did begin
She said she wanted candy and to the counter I would go
only to return to find her with my best friend Joe
Lucy
was the in the circus selling popcorn on the side
between the acts and intermission we would go outside
to a trailer in the parking lot her daddy's double wide
where she kept a secret place for us to go and hide
But underneath that pretty costume she really was a guy
Debbie
lived in Dallas under the freeway sign
she'll always have a special place because she was so kind
when it came to making love that gal she was a beast
she liked it very rough for me to say the least
but I got tired of whips and chains and studded leather thongs
never being right but always being wrong
I finally had to say goodbye and move my way along
Oh the women I have known and the places I have been
while running with the devil and living a life of sin
The only regret that I have and I surely have a few
is that I never met a woman that I wished I never knew
