Linda works the diner pourin coffee slingin' hash |
| [00:20.68] |
She said I wouldn't have come in today |
| [00:24.55] |
But I really need the cash |
| [00:26.43] |
|
| [00:27.87] |
I know I can't fool anyone 'cause dark glasses tell no lies |
| [00:33.99] |
|
| [00:34.80] |
make-up But won't cover up a blackened eye" |
| [00:40.86] |
Oh oh oh no |
| [00:42.93] |
|
| [00:44.68] |
You see, Jimmy works construction now |
| [00:48.67] |
But yesterday it rained |
| [00:50.88] |
|
| [00:51.81] |
So he went down to the liquor store |
| [00:55.13] |
And by noon he felt no pain |
| [00:57.87] |
|
| [00:59.19] |
I came in an hour late then I let his supper burn |
| [01:04.31] |
|
| [01:05.75] |
"Well he hit the roof, hit the wall |
| [01:09.43] |
And then it was my turn |
| [01:11.74] |
|
| [01:12.50] |
He said, A man's home is his castle |
| [01:16.88] |
|
| [01:19.63] |
It always has been and so it remains |
| [01:25.63] |
|
| [01:26.39] |
But he holds the keys in a fist of rage |
| [01:32.43] |
|
| [01:35.06] |
His home is his castle |
| [01:38.76] |
And mine is a cage |
| [01:43.38] |
|
| [01:49.74] |
Someone much have heard the noise and they dialed 911 |
| [01:55.91] |
And the cop that showed up at the door asked |
| [01:59.96] |
"Is there a problem son?" |
| [02:01.74] |
|
| [02:03.06] |
Jimmy smiled and said No sir, just a little fight that's all |
| [02:09.43] |
Hey you know how it gets sometimes |
| [02:13.27] |
When you're layin' down the law |
| [02:15.40] |
|
| [02:15.91] |
Oh oh oh no |
| [02:17.41] |
|
| [02:20.22] |
So I pulled out my suitcase I started packin' up my clothes |
| [02:25.98] |
|
| [02:27.25] |
And Jimmy said 'Now Linda, where do you expect to go with those' |
| [02:32.64] |
|
| [02:34.14] |
I told him 'I have tried, but not an ounce of love survives' |
| [02:39.43] |
|
| [02:40.50] |
Well he grabbed my wrist and shouted |
| [02:43.19] |
|
| [02:43.75] |
You're not leavin' here alive" |
| [02:46.06] |
|
| [02:59.69] |
She said "I'm savin' up my money and when I get the nerve I'll run |
| [03:05.25] |
|
| [03:06.94] |
But Jim don't give up easily so I intend to buy a gun |
| [03:12.62] |
|
| [03:14.19] |
He will never see the way he treats me is a crime |
| [03:19.75] |
|
| [03:20.68] |
Somebody oughta lock him up |
| [03:23.64] |
|
| [03:24.27] |
but I'm the one Who's done the time |
| [03:27.09] |
|
| [03:28.66] |
He said A man's home is his castle |
| [03:34.35] |
|
| [03:36.16] |
It always has been and so it remains |
| [03:42.55] |
|
| [03:43.36] |
But he holds the keys in a fist of rage |
| [03:49.92] |
|
| [03:51.73] |
His home is his castle |
| [03:54.54] |
|
| [03:55.30] |
And mine is a cage" |
