Randy Travis - Shopping for Dresses lyrics

Jimmie Dickens, Merle Haggard, R. Q. Jackson

Down through the ages men have died for women

And done so for many times

Each time I loved one, I ve always lost one

Seems the right one is so hard to find.

Shopping for dresses with no one to wear them

One in each color, one in each style.

I ll find a lady someday to wear them,

My shopping will be done for awhile.

I ll bet somewhere s a lady shopping for britches

Comparing the value, appraising each pair.

Maybe someday the Lord will bring us together

And we ll both have a new wardrobe to wear

Shopping for dresses with no one to wear them

One in each color and one in each style.

Maybe someday if I'm lucky

I ll find someone to wear them

And my shopping will be done for awhile.

My shopping will be done for awhile.

I m looking for a lady who ll look good in dresses

She must be red-headed, green eyes and be fair.

I ll make exceptions to all my requirements

As long as she s willing to care.

Chorus:

I just saw a beauty with blue eyes, what a cutie

Bond hair like a halo around her did flow,

But the brunette beside her would be just as lovely

In the dresses I bought long ago.

Chorus:

Now as I sit here dreaming, planning and scheming,

Why should I make standards when everyone knows

As your need ranges, women make changes

And you must accept them or just let them go.

Chorus:
