Lyrics
Somebody Wants Me Out Of The Way
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.
Somebody keeps payin' my bar tab but the bartender won't tell me who
He gives me six cold ones to go when he closes and slips me a dollar or two
My woman is keeping me busy and I'm afraid to go ask her why
But the more I keep drinking the more I keep thinking
There's somebody new in her life
Somebody wants me out of the way
And I bet that I'll find out when I go home today
Here comes the waitress with a loaded down tray
Somebody wants me out of the way
Now my woman is under suspicion and all I can see in my mind
Is two cheatin' lovers who love under cover
And the cover they're under is mine
Somebody wants me out of the way...
Somebody wants me out of the way
