Elton John’s Sweet Painted Lady.  Just change the first line to “I’m back in Thailand once again.”


 

 

I'm back on dry land once again
Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain
We're all hunting honey with money to burn
Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned

If the boys all behave themselves here
Well, there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear
You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight
Oh, the prices I charge here will see you alright

So, she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used her and many still do
There's a place in the world for a woman like you

Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the name of the game

Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the name of the game, oh

Forget us we'll have gone very soon
Just forget we ever slept in your rooms
And we'll leave the smell of the sea in your beds
Where love's just a job and nothing is said

So she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used her and many still do
There's a place in the world for a woman like you

Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the name of the game

Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the name of the game, oh

Well..........I am buzzed on Wine and wifey is upstairs in the shower LOL! Great dinner tonite. So what happens? Old "hacks" like me start reminiscing about the " good old days" LOL! 

Monger songs indeed........"And be a simple.... kind of man, oh be something... you love and understand" 

Yes this version of Skynyrd only has Gary Rossington and Artemis Pyle as originals, but Ronnie Van Zandt's brother sings real well I think....especially on this number.

Saw all of the originals March 1976 in San Jose at The Civic Auditorium.....seems like yesterday. Sadly in 1977 alot of the originals went down in that tragic plane crash.  

This tune still sounds great after all of these years...

Ok I promise NOT to go on these Thurs night benders anymore😍
