And jimmy said "Now Linda, where do you expect to go with those"
I told him "I have tried, but not an ounce of love survives"
She said "I'm savin' up my money and when I get the nerve I'll run
So he went down to the liquor store and by noon he felt no pain
But he holds the keys in a fist of rage
So I pulled out my suitcase I started packin' up my clothes
Oh, oh, oh no
"But Jim don't give up easily so I intend to buy a gun
"You see, Jimmy works construction now but yesterday it rained
Oh, oh, oh no
Someone much have heard the noise and they dialed 911
Hey you know how it gets sometimes when you're layin' down the law"
He said "A man's home is his castle
It always has been and so it remains
I came in an hour late then I let his supper burn
Somebody oughta lock him up but I'm the one who's done the time"
His home is his castle and mine is a cage"
I know I can't fool anyone 'cause dark glasses tell no lies
He said "A man's home is his castle
But he holds the keys in a fist of rage
He will never see the way he treats me is a crime
Jimmy smiled and said "No sir, just a little fight that's all
Well he grabbed my wrist and shouted "You're not leavin' here alive"
But make-up won't cover up a blackened eye"
It always has been and so it remains
And the cop that showed up at the door asked "Is there a problem son?"
Well he hit the roof hit the wall and then it was my turn"
