A Mans Home is His Castle — текст песни (Faith Hill)

(ariel caten)



Linda works the diner pourin coffee slingin hash

She said, "i wouldnt have come in today

"but I really need the cash

"i know I cant fool anyone cause dark glasses tell no lies

"but make-up wont 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 mans home is his 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 much have heard the noise and they dialed 911

And the cop that showed up at the door asked,

"is there a problem son? "

Jimmy smiled and said "no sir, just a little fight thats all

Hey you know how it gets sometimes

When youre layin 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 not an ounce of love survives

"well he grabbed my wrist and shouted

"youre not leavin here alive"



She said "im savin up my money and when I get the nerve Ill run

"but jim dont 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 Im the one

"whos done the time"



He said "a mans home is his 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"
