Modern Man Blues
I'm tired Lord and I'm drawnAnd I'm chilled right to the boneI crawled home from my workAnd this note said she was goneSaid your dinner's in the catAnd your love is out the doorI'm going back to my mommaAnd I don't want you no more, no moreShe said she don't want me no moreShe's gone back to her mommaSaid she's never never coming back no more
Now a man can take so muchAnd only heaven knows his limitBut a nagging angry womanDigs a hole and puts him in itA sophisticated manNeeds a little something on the sideSo what you don't get at homeYou've gotta get outside, hey
She's goneI'm spending all of my moneyShe's gone, gone, goneAnd I can swing with my honeyShe's goneI'm so glad my woman's gone
Now time goes marching onAnd it won't wait for youYou've gotta take it when it's offeredAnd get it when it's dueNow a man can move much fasterWithout a millstone around his neckSo if you get the chance to lose itYou've gotta drop it and run like heck, hey
She's goneI'm spending all of my moneyShe's gone, gone, goneAnd I can swing with my honeyShe's goneI'm so glad my woman's gone
She's goneI'm spending all of my moneyShe's gone, gone, goneAnd I can swing with my honeyShe's goneI'm so glad my woman's gone
