Take That Woman Away

I had me a house up on a hill, I used to dress so slick

I drove about in a black Corvette and I fooled around with chicks

But that's all changed and I hear you ask

"What in the world has happened to him?"

Well, I lost my head and I got wed

And that's the reason for the state I'm in

Yeah, cry, cry, don't ask me why

But that's all she does each day

Moan, moan, won't leave me alone

And I give her all my pay

Scream, scream, even in my dreams

It's turnin' my hair grey

All I'm sayin' is I don't mind payin'

Just take that woman away

At first it seemed like a good idea

She was pretty as a Christmas tree

I met her in a bar and I bought her a beer

And asked her to marry me

It didn't take long 'til I knew I was wrong

Started slippin' out my back door

I never got far, she ran out to the car

Revvin' up my old chainsaw

Yeah, cry, cry, don't ask me why

But that's all she does each day

Moan, moan, won't leave me alone

And I give her all my pay

Scream, scream, even in my dreams

It's turnin' my hair grey

All I'm sayin' is I don't mind payin'

Just take that woman away

Well, that was then, I'm happy now

All those years have passed

Yeah, I'm locked up in a little room

But at least I'm free at last

They got clean white suits and padded walls

And pretty fresh-cut flowers

Yeah, it's real nice like paradise

Except it isn't in ours

And she comes around

Yeah, cry, cry, don't ask me why

But that's all she does each day

Moan, moan, won't leave me alone

And I give her all my pay

Scream, scream, even in my dreams

It's turnin' my hair grey

All I'm sayin' is I don't mind payin'

Just take that woman away
