Gretchen Wilson - Come to Bed

Gretchen Wilson is an true to life country music Rags-To-Riches story. Her mother was 16 when she was born; her dad left them two years later. She grew up in trailer parks, dropping out of school in the 8th grade, making money by singing in bars.

She was "discovered" singing there, but it only led to a regular gig with a house band.

Her big break was when John Rich (from Big and Rich) found her and asked her to write music. Her 2004 self-titled album contained the hit Redneck Woman but also the even bigger hit Here for the Party, which hit #2 on the Billboard Top 200.

Now January is Hot Country Ladies month here at Saturday Redneck, and this video is nothing if not that. While it doesn't fall into the Not-Safe-For-Work category, it's probably not the smartest thing to watch while you're at work.


Gretchen Wilson - Come To Bed (Official Music Video)

Come to Bed (songwriters George Teren, Rivers Rutherford, Gretchen Wilson)
Sometimes we fight
'Bout who's wrong and right
And stay up all night
And sometimes we drink
And say hurtful things
That we don't mean

Pre Chorus

Yeah, we're both screamin'
But nobody's listenin'
Let's take this madness
Out of the kitchen

Chorus

Come to bed
Let's just lay down
There's just one way
We're gonna work this out
Forget what I did
Forget what you said
Oh, darlin' (darlin')
Come to bed


Well, I love you
You know I do
And you love me, too
So let's just stop
Remember what we've got
Before it all gets lost

Pre Chorus

Just take my hand
It's been way too long
Turn out the lights
And turn each other on

Chorus

Come to bed
Let's just lay down
There's just one way
We're gonna work this out
Forget what I did
Forget what you said
Oh, darlin' (darlin')
Come to bed

Bridge

And let's put aside our pride
For feelin's for tonight
In the mornin' we'll see things
In a different light

Tag Chorus

Just come to bed
Let's just lay down
There's just one way
We're gonna work it out
Forget what I did
Forget what you said
Oh, darlin' (darlin')
Come to bed
