Darcy McFadden Lyrics

He came on stronger than most

With a hearty 'hello' and a series of boasts

Folding her hand into his, he said, "Darlin', I'll take you away"

"Ease off", she said with a smile, " 'cause it's here I'm fixing to stay"

"If ye want to spend time with me, it's by my rules you're going to play"

Darcy McFadden is living her life

She stacks all her dreams on the edge of a knife

And she prays to a savior she knows doesn't exist at all

Darcy is doin' alright

Got a good payin' job and a pint every night

The boys'll be handsy and fight, to be her savior

The priest told her, "Darcy, stay home

Temping men with your body's a sin, don't ye know

The good lord don't need no more whores, after dark I'll come back to save your soul"

Darcy McFadden is living her life

She stacks all her dreams on the edge of a knife

And she prays to a savior she knows doesn't exist at all

It hurt him to hear Darcy say, she don't need a husband to get in the way

But a woman alone ain't enough

To succeed in a world so manly and tough

"You're drinkin' in a pub named McFadden's" she said

"Let me make this crystal and clear

Success ain't dream that I'm having, 'cause I'm damn well already here"

Darcy McFadden is living her life

She stacks all her dreams on the edge of a knife

And she prays to a savior she knows doesn't exist at all

Darcy McFadden is living her life. She stacks all her dreams on the edge of a knife

And she prays to a savior she knows she doesn't need at all

Darcy don't need 'em, Darcy don't need 'em, Darcy don't need 'em at all

Darcy don't need 'em, Darcy don't need 'em, Darcy don't need 'em at all

Darcy don't need 'em, Darcy don't need 'em, Darcy don't need 'em at all
