Paul Kelly - To Her Door lyrics

They got married early Never had no money Then when he got laid off They really hit the skids He started up his drinking Then they started fighting He took it pretty badly She took both the kids She said "I'm not standing by To watch you slowly die So watch me walking out the door, out the door, out the door She said, "Shove it Jack I'm walking out the f**ing door" She went to her brother's Got a little bar work He went to the bu*tery Stayed about a year Then he wrote a letter Said, "I want to see you" She thought he sounded better She sent him the fare He was riding through the cane In the pouring rain On Olympic to her door And his heart was singing like a lowdown guitar. He came in on a Sunday Every muscle aching Walking in slow motion Like he'd just been hit Did they have a future? Would he know his children? Could he make a picture, And get them all to fit? He was shaking in his seat Riding through the streets In a Silvertop to her door ...shaking in his seat Riding through the streets In a Silvertop to her door, to her door, to her door
