Margie’s At The Lincoln Park Inn

[Verse 1]
My names in the paper where I took the Boy Scouts to hike
My hands are all dirty from working on my little boy’s bike
The preacher came by and I talked for a minute with him
My wife’s in the kitchen and Margie is at the Lincoln Park Inn

[Verse 2]
Next Sunday, it’s my turn to speak to the young peoples' class
And they expect answers to all the questions they ask
What would they say if I spoke on a modern day sin?
And all of the Margie’s and all of the Lincoln Park Inns

[Verse 3]
And I know why she’s there, I’ve been there before
But I made a promise that I wouldn’t cheat anymore
I try to ignore it but I know she’s in there, my friend
My mind’s on a number and Margie is at the Lincoln Park Inn

[Verse 4]
The bike is all fixed and my little boy’s in bed asleep
His little warm puppy is curled in a ball at my feet
My wife’s baking cookies to feed to the bridge club again
I’m almost out of cigarettes and Margie is at the Lincoln Park Inn

[Verse 3]
And I know why she’s there, I’ve been there before
But I made a promise that I wouldn’t cheat anymore
I try to ignore it but I know she’s in there, my friend
My mind’s on a number and Margie is at the Lincoln Park Inn
