I DON'T KNOW

Phone rings......... Hello? ....Yeah,
               ~~~~*~~~~
She said don't think of coming home
That I am too danged mean
Yeah, bud, I know you would
Don't worry about me

Well, hey, I gotta go
I see a sign ahead
Just need a room for the night
A place to lay my head

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I...Don't...Know

When she'll want me home

Should have been nicer to my Wife

I...Don't ...Know

Got no ace in the hole

Now I need a place to spend the night

I...Don't...Know

Why my friend's Wife said,

"Just leave that creep out in the cold"

Why...Am ...I

Such a jerk sometimes

I...Don't...Know

I just don't know

~~*~~

The sign said one night special

At the red leaf Inn

Found the manager's office

Parked, and then went in

He led me around a pool

Packed full of leaves and dirt

Opened up room 83

I saw the blood stain first

I asked him to explain 

The huge spot on the rug

He said, "that's what's left of Willy

He was dealing drugs."

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

I...Don't...Know

When she'll want me home

Should have been nicer to my Wife

I...Don't ...Know

Got no ace in the hole

But this ain't no place to spend the night

Yes...I...Know

Why my friend's Wife said,

"Just leave that creep out in the cold"

Why...Am ...I

Such a jerk sometimes

I...Don't...Know

I just don't know

~~*~~

I mumbled,  screw this, man

I ain't staying here

I pulled into our driveway

Swear that I shed tears

My Wife came out and saw them

Said that this is good

I said I can't believe it

I didn't think I could

~~~*Final Chorus*~~~

Here...We...Go

She let me come home

I will be nicer to my wife

Yes...I...Know

I let those teardrops flow

Now I have a place to spend my life

Yes...I ...Know

Why my friend's Wife said,

"Just leave that creep out in the cold"

Cause...I ...Am

such a jerk sometimes

Why this is

I just don't know
