The Exit - Dirt Floor lyrics

I went out tonight and closed down the bar Drank seventeen beers and smoked ten cigars I left my car downtown and I walked home I got home at three or maybe three-thirty My hair was a mess and my jeans were all dirty But there your sweet face was waiting up on me Now come on honey why you being so mean And these kitchen lights look like my Chevy's high beams I can't participate or concentrate on anything you're trying to do So please quit your screaming it's hurting my head I'm taking a leak and then I'm going to bed I'll see you in the morning and by the way I love you (Chorus) And she said You can love me, you can love me You can say you tried but honey you're outside tonight Cause that's where your bags and clothes will be You're showing no respect for me And I can't take it anymore so if I see you in the morning You can tell me bout' your new dirt floor So I'm pounding on the windows, I'm pounding on the doors What the hell is she talking about "My new dirt floor" I just want to get out these clothes and go to bed So I started acting really nice and sweet I said I'll rub your shoulder, ma**age your feet But once again that didn't do the trick (Chorus) Well I hate that it had to come down to this You're calling the cops the neighbors clenching his fists It seems like the whole darn block is mad at me And just when I thought I had it straightened out with you I see the flashing lights red white and blue And they cuffed me up and carried me away I said you've got to believe me, you've got to believe me I'd never do nothing to let my sweet love muffin down Then they started mumbling about my rights It's been a real long night officer can't you tell He said you'll get all the sleep you need at the Grey Bar Hotel And now I'm where I never though I'd be Begging for my old dirt floor
