(Waylon Jennings)
2
I sat at a bar having a beer
3
Trying to hold down the stool
4
When a stranger walked in stood there beside me
5
And plopped down there like a fool.
6
He started drinking then he started talking
7
About things that were wrong in his life
8
The more that I heard the more I believed
9
The thing that was wrong was his wife.
10
You talk about beauty when we first met
11
She was all a man could desire
12
Talk about love one night with her
13
Would set your very soul on fire.
14
But loves little flame is out of control
15
About three feet high from behind
16
Ever since we've been married well, I've come to believe
17
That love's for the dumb and the blind.
18
'Cause you talk about ugly when she gets mad
19
She goes from Jekill to Hyde
20
She grits her teeth and her eyes roll back
21
And pivot from side to side.
22
She completely rewrites the whole English language
23
Descriptive four lettered and loud
24
Now I can't out think her but I can sure out drink her
25
And that's what I'm doing here now.
26
I've spent seven years with the wrong woman
27
Seven and going on eight
28
She spent seven years naggin' and eatin'
29
I'm overwrought and she's overweight.
30
If I try leavin' she has me arrested
31
And takes her own sweet time gettin' me out
32
If she ain't number one she's in the top two
33
Of things that I could live without.
34
Men commit murder and all kinds of mayhem
35
In a few years they're back on the streets
36
Highway robbery and white collar crime
37
And they laugh at the system they beat.
38
Sometimes I'm tempted sometimes I'm ashamed
39
Of the things that the law will allow
40
I could have killed her when I first met her
41
And I'd have been out of jail by now.
42
I could have killed her when we first met
43
And I've have been out of jail by now...
