Well it's the same old story
Another mobile home broken up
Well I'm eatin' off of a paper plate
Drinkin' from a paper cup
Chorus:
She caught me with another woman
I guess I'm lucky to be alive
Well she stole my car
And left me a nail to drive
Chorus:
She caught me with another woman
I guess I'm lucky to be alive
Well she stole my car
And left me a nail to drive
Yeah she stole my car
And left me a nail to drive
