Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She was sittin' at a four-top with a few of her friends
Workin' off the work week, a couple drinks in
When that jukebox dime finally hit "Paradise City"
She was screamin' every word like it was '87, hmm
[Verse 2]
She caught me lookin' and laughin', singin' along too
She just smiled and spun across the room
Made a bee line for the dance floor, pullin' me by the hand
Tellin' anyone who'd listen, "This is my favorite band"
[Chorus]
Sayin', oh-oh-oh, "'Sweet Child O' Mine's alright
But have you heard 'Don't Cry'?"
Oh-oh-oh, she knew every B-side
And I just sat and let her talk all night
Thank the whiskey for the tipsy dance she gave me
Thank a couple Lucky Strikes left for my lucky streak
Thank the barkeeper keepin' that patio open
Yeah, I could keep goin'
Thank God, thank God and Guns N' Roses
[Verse 3]
She told me her daddy wore out that two-side tape
That '81 Bronco had seen its better days
But it made it two hundred miles and we got a couple seats
Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door in the nosebleeds
[PreChorus]
Hmm, screamin' like it was '87
Hmm, that's when she said
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, "'Sweet Child O' Mine's alright
But have you heard 'Don't Cry'?"
Oh-oh-oh, she knew every B-side
And I just sat and let her talk all night
Thank the whiskey for the tipsy dance she gave me
Thank a couple Lucky Strikes left for my lucky streak
Thank the barkeeper keepin' that patio open
Yeah, I could keep goin'
Thank God, thank God and Guns N' Roses
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, "'Sweet Child O' Mine's alright
But have you heard 'Don't Cry'?"
Oh-oh-oh, she knew every B-side
And I just sat and let her talk all night
Thank the whiskey for the tipsy dance she gave me
Thank a couple Lucky Strikes left for my lucky streak
Thank the barkeeper keepin' that patio open
Yeah, I could keep goin'
Thank God, thank God and Guns N' Roses
