เพลง A Man's Home Is His Castle (Album Version)

Linda works the diner pourin coffee slingin' hash

She said I wouldn't have come in today

But I really need the cash

I know I can't fool anyone 'cause dark glasses tell no lies

But make-up won't 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 man's 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 that's all

Hey you know how it gets sometimes

When you're 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

You're not leavin' here alive"

She said "I'm savin' up my money and when I get the nerve I'll run

But Jim don't 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 I'm the one Who's done the time

He said A man's 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"
