Lyrics

My Wife's Home Town

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well, I didn't come here, dear, with a doggone thing

I just came here to hear the drummer's cymbal ring

There ain't no way you can put me down

I just wanna say that hell's my wife's home town

Well, there's reasons for that and reasons for this

I can't think of any just now, but I know they exist

I'm sitting in the sun 'till my skin turns brown

I just wanna say that hell's my wife's home town

Home town, home town

She can make you steal, make you rob

Give you the hives, make you lose your job

Make things bad, she can make things worse

She got stuff more potent than a gypsy curse

One of these days I'll end up on the run

I'm pretty sure she'll make me kill someone

I'm going inside, roll the shutters down

I just wanna say that hell's my wife's home town

Well, there's plenty to remember, plenty to forget

I still can remember the day we met

I lost my reasons long ago

My love for her is all I know

State gone broke, the county's dry

Don't be looking at me with that evil eye

Keep on walking, don't be hanging around

I'm telling you again that hell's my wife's home town

Home town, home town
