If she cared a little more about what they all think
Some silicone implants, and another man on the side
And she never touched that gun in the closet
Just in case the one in the closet
But, by two O'clock or so every afternoon
So she'd fix him a nice hot supper
She didn't get out much, so she never knew just what it was
The clock until he came back home
That made him so afraid
Most men would say she wasn't much to look at
And it was beautiful you should have seen it
And his lunch in a box sitting out by the kitchen door
She could have a life of her own if she had a little pride
And they all would say she'd be a lot better off
And her one and only man knows it and
To cuss about his day
Most women today would say she was a disgrace
And sit down and enjoy the quiet of the house all alone
While he ranted and raved about one thing or the other
Didn't make a big enough hole
And she never once told him what he was going on about
Then she'd make herself a pot of coffee just the way she liked it
Was just a couple of beers and a couple of minutes
When he came home every evening
The quiet would start getting to her and she'd watch
She has breakfast ready every morning
It was his and it was there just because he wanted it to be
And she understood just what he needed
Didn't add up to a thing
But she's got a loaded gun in the closet
She'd make sure he had everything he needed
And hug his neck and tell him how much she loved him
And it's there anytime she wants it
