Wife Beater Lyrics

Artist: Drive-By Truckers
Album: Gangstabilly

You met him at the dance hall
You only saw his charms
You said he really swept you off your feet
Then one night heâ‚¬â„¢s drinking
and jealousy enraged
He knocked out two of your front teeth

so you came over to hide out at my place
I guess I should have killed him there and then
but you begged me not to
now you say heâ‚¬â„¢s changed
and youâ‚¬â„¢re gonna go back to him

Donâ‚¬â„¢t give me that bull about how itâ‚¬â„¢s for the children
A man like that could never be a dad
What happens when he kills you?
What will they do then?
Sometimes you ought to ask yourself that

Donâ‚¬â„¢t go back to him heâ‚¬â„¢s a wife beater
Youâ‚¬â„¢d be better off with this potato eater
You say heâ‚¬â„¢s changed, donâ‚¬â„¢t be a fool
A man like thatâ‚¬â„¢s no good for you
A man like thatâ‚¬â„¢s no good for you

lyrics by Patterson Hood
music by Drive-by Truckers (Cooley, Hood, Howell, Lane, Neff)
