Iodine

[Verse 1]
Well I checked my watch, it's ten o'clock
I got a date at nine
With the darling of my heart
I call her Iodine

[Chorus 1]
Iodine, Iodine
Assorted cuts and bruises
Hangs my heart out on the line
Any time she chooses

[Verse 2]
I'm the meanest man in Tennessee
My woman's even meaner
If you try to two-time me
You'll wish you'd never seen her

[Chorus 2]
Iodine, Iodine
Assorted lacerations
Tears my heart out every time
There ain't no vacations

[Verse 3]
If I show up an hour late
She makes me wait for three
More likely she don't come at all
She's meaner yet than me

[Chorus 3]
Iodine, Iodine
Don't know where to begin
Proves her heart is really mine
With a left hook to the chin

[Verse 4]
I'm the meanest man in Tennessee
I eat horseshoes for breakfast
Ain't no meaner man than me
Just take my word on trust

[Chorus 4]
Iodine, Iodine
The grass is never greener
No matter how mean the man
A woman can be meaner

[Verse 5]
She leaves me every week or two
Just for to see me cry
If she ever left for good
I'd lay me down and die

[Chorus 5]
Iodine, Iodine
The perfect girl for me
I couldn't find no better here
Down home in Tennessee

[Chorus 1]
Iodine, Iodine
Assorted cuts and bruises
Hangs my heart out on the line
Any time she chooses
