|
The walls closin' around you and he won't be home tonight |
|
He's out somewhere and gamblin' and perhaps he's in a fight |
|
And yes you know about the woman, and you know there's three or four |
|
Perhaps he's out there laughin' now and dancin' 'round the floor |
|
And yes you try to make the best of it, which isn't much I know |
|
You thought you've had your fill of it, you see that it wasn't so, oh |
|
No |
|
Now your babies are sleepin' soundly and you hang your head and think |
|
He damn near broke your nose last night and all he does is drink |
|
And as the wind blows at the windows and the clouds go by the moon |
|
The walls close in around you and your sadness fills the room |
|
And yet you try to make the best of it, which isn't much I know |
|
You thought you've had your fill of it, but you see that it wasn't so, oh |
|
No, oh no |
|
You know you make your own decisions and you live the life you choose |
|
I watch it from the sidelines and it sure gives me the blues |
|
You know you're sure to find me waiting, should you ever come around |
|
I am the one who loves you while he drives you further down |
|
And yes you try to make the best of it, which isn't much I know |
|
You thought you've had your fill of it, but you see that it wasn't so, oh |
|
No, no babe |
