Drive-by Truckers Wife Beater Lyrics

Wife Beater Lyrics

You met him at the dance hall



You only saw his charms



You said he really swept you off your feet



Then one night he'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 he's changed



and you're gonna go back to him







Don't give me that bull about how it'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







Don't go back to him he's a wife beater



You'd be better off with this potato eater



You say he's changed, don't be a fool



A man like that's no good for you



A man like that's no good for you
