I grew up on this, and Tammy is the First Lady of Country Music, but thank god for Brother Boy in SORDID LIVES. He brought Tammy's songs back to our generation IMHO. Along with her vocals on 'Justified And Ancient', she left us way too soon.
I've never seen the inside of a bar room
Or listened to a Jukebox all night long
But I see these are the things that bring you pleasure
So I'm gonna make some changes in our home
I've heard it said if you can't beat 'em join 'em
So if that's the way you wanted me to be
I'll change if it takes that to make you happy
From now on you're gonna see a different me
Because your good girl's gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swinginest swinger you've ever had
If you like 'em painted up, powdered up
Then you oughta be glad
'Cause your good girl's gonna go bad
I'll even learn to like the taste of whisky
In fact, you'll hardly recognise your wife
I'll buy some brand new clothes and dress up fancy
For my journey to the wilder side of life
Because your good girl's gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swinginest swinger you've ever had
If you like 'em painted up, powdered up
Then you oughta be glad
'Cause your good girl's gonna go bad
Oh yeah, your good girl's gonna go bad
i miss this kind of country music. this is my parents era. the real country artist. tammy was one of the best. i remember seeing her at the counrty fair. what a counrty star.
Tammy was cute-faced on that LP cover. I read that she and George were always close, even after their divorce, but she just got tired of his boozing and cheating. There was just so much she could take, I can't blame her.
I was born January 28th 1989 I was raised by my grandma from birth she was born in 1944 so I was raised on the old country music as far back as the 1930s and I love the old country music a lot better than the country music today
I remember hearing this song when it was my first time walking into a bar. I was 25. My husband would go to bars. So I decided to go and see what it was all about.
