A Man's Home Is His Castle

歌詞

Linda works the diner pourin coffee slingin 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 oh 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 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 man's home is castle It always has been and so it remains But he holds the keys in a fist of rage His home is his castle And mine is a cage Someone must have heard the noise and they dialed 911 And the cop who showed up at the door asked Is there a problem son Jimmy smiled and said No sir just a little fight that's all Hey you know how it gets sometimes When you're laying down the law Oh oh oh no So I pulled out my suitcase I started packin up my clothes And Jimmy said Now Linda where do you Expect to go with those I told him I have tried but no an ounce of love survives Well he grabbed my wrist 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 don't give up easily so I intend To buy a gun He will never see the way he treats me is a crime Somebody oughta lock him up But I'm the one who's done the time He said A man's home is castle It always has been and so it remains But he holds the keys in a fist of rage His home is his castle And mine is a cage
