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's happened to him?"
Well I lost my head and I got wed and that's the reason for the state I'm in
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 turning my hair grey
All I'm saying is I don't mind paying, 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, I started slippin' out my back door
I never got far, she ran out to the car, revving up my old chainsaw
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 turning my hair grey
All I'm saying is I don't mind paying, 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've got clean white coats and padded walls and pretty fresh cut flowers
Yeah, it's real nice like paradise, except for visiting hours when she comes around
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 turning my hair grey
All I'm saying is I don't mind paying, just take that woman away
