Well, I've worn this
dress at ease before
Now I wear it for you once more
You put something in my head,
something I couldn't keep
Lately I've been seeing you at
night when I'm asleep
And I've worn this dress
heading east before
Hangin' in my kitchen is
a dusty plastic cross
And
Jesus in the middle
blowin' green in the dark
So you brought it for me in the big
cathedral on the square
We wrote a streetcard name
as I had money left to spare
And I've worn this dress
heading east before
We drank a lot of whiskey
in our sterile hotel room
A conscience stricken bride and
a drunken ghostly groom
And we stumbled like a nightmare
down the middle of the street
Burnt canes and coffee and
cobbles at our feet
And I've worn this dress
heady knees before
Well the trees get tall
and thick along the road from here to there
I drive real fast across the swamp
cause I don't really care
And I search and search the radio,
hoping to forget
That the place I'm going to see you now,
you shouldn't have been there yet
And I've worn this dress,
heading east before
Worn this dress, heading east before
Now I wait for you once more
