The man said "Woman are you for real?
"You’re as twisted as the busted old buckle on my favorite belt
"You know the one that got stuck in the tractor last year?
"And you’re lucky that it didn’t bust off somethin' else
She said "Man I wish it did
"You’re always pokin' me, thinkin' like I'm some kinda voodoo doll
"Goddamn, I got a little more class than you
"Look at them holes in your overalls
And the man said "Maybe it’s time you learned how to sew"
The woman said "Maybe it’s time that you learned to look after your own clothes"
"'Cause baby don't you wanna look good for those pretty girls?
"Yeah I heard about you stoppin' in them dirty bars
"If your own woman ain't enough
"You're prob'ly gonna wanna stop and think about it long and hard
And the man said "Baby you know it is," and he smiled
The woman said "Jesus Christ, oh you and your dirty mind"
The man said "Baby you ain't leavin' so stop sayin' like you are
"And I guess we could be better but it isn't all my fault
"So take your pretty little suitcase and bring it on upstairs
"When you're finished with unpackin' I'mma show you how I care
She turned 'round to take a swing, but he caught her halfway there
She said "Man me and my suitcase are gonna get us some fresh air"
He said "Run on to your mama like you always do
"I'll be by to pick you up in an hour or two
"And don't you get too much unpackin' done
"'Cause you know you and your mama gonna fight like dogs 'fore long"
She said "Man, don't wind me up, I ain't kiddin' with you
"I don't need no more of your mouth and I don't need the rest of you too
"Don't even kiss me goodbye, I don't wanna see you cry
"I mean what I said and I'm gone, and don't stand here waitin'
"'Cause I ain't comin' back, I'm through, I'm through with you
[Instrumental]
Then a big black truck pulled up
Layered with a brand new coat of dust
There was a man with a hat and the windows were black
Out-of-state plates and a hitch on the back
And she picked up her suitcase and jumped inside
Didn't even turn around to say goodbye
So the man went and put on his goin'-out clothes
Wiped his face with a rag, hit his head with a comb
Took a walk to the closest bar up the road
Sat down with a woman with a long red coat
They talked for a while 'bout the weather and the beer
She showed him a tattoo she had on her ankle:
A little red bird on a little green tree
Her ankles were thin and her skin was pale pink
He said "Hey, pretty baby! I been lookin' for you
"I got half an empty bed I been lookin' to fill
"I got two big closets one is for you
"I got good hot water and air conditionin' too"
So she took his arm and they left and it all started over again
She took his arm and they left and it all started over again
She took his arm and they left and it all started over again
