歌詞

Linda works the diner pouring coffee slinging hash She said I wouldn't have come in today but I really need the cash I know I can't fool anyone cause dark glasses tell no lies But make up won't cover up a blackened eye oh no You see jimmy works construction now But yesterday it rained So he went down to the liquor store And by noon he felt no pain Well I came in an hour late Then I let his supper burn Well he hit the roof hit the wall And then it was my turn He said a mans home is his castle It always has been and so it remains He holds the keys in a fist of rage His home is his castle and mine is a cage Some one must have heard the noise And they dialed nine one one And the cop who showed up at the door asked Is there a problem son And jimmy smiled and said no sir just a little fight thats all Hey you know how it gets some times When you're laying down the law oh no So I pulled out my suitcase I started packing up my clothes And jimmy said now linda Where do you expect to go with those I told him ive tried but not an ounce of love survived Then he grabbed my wrists and shouted You're not leaving here alive She said I'm saving up my money And when I get the nerve I'll run But jim dont give up easily So I intend to buy a gun He will never see the way he treats me is a crime Somebody ought to lock him up But I'm the one whos done the time He says a mans home is his castle It always has been and so it remains He holds the keys in a fist of rage His home is his castle and my cage
