Lyrics

You're like old stale coffee
And a room full of smoke
You're like a love sucking leech
No wonder I'm broke
I once was the prom queen
But you stole my crown
No need to worry
I ain't sticking around
I always knew you'd
Be the worst one for me
Well I thank you for that
Now hand me the keys

I'm getting out of this town
And I ain't looking back
You've never been happy
In this broken down shack
I work all day
And I work all night
Have a word with yourself
Cause babe you ain't right
Have a word with yourself
Cause babe you ain't right

Its Sunday afternoon
And you've dragged me to church
Listen to the preacher
He wants you to search
What? For love and forgiveness
That's deep in your soul
Well I'd better be quick
Cause you're getting old
Mama always said
You'd never rock my boat
My Papa's always said
She's a nasty old goat

I'm getting out of this town
And I ain't looking back
You've never been happy
In this broken down shack
I work all day
And I work all night
Have a word with yourself
Cause babe you ain't right
Have a word with yourself
Cause babe you ain't right

I loved you once a long time ago
Back when we were young and carefree
I put a ring on your finger
Meant every word of our vows
But look what you're doing to me
You put all the blame at my door
It's the same as before
And here we go again

I'm getting out of this town
And I ain't looking back
You've never been happy
In this broken down shack
I work all day
And I work all night
Have a word with yourself
Cause babe you ain't right
Have a word with yourself
Cause babe you ain't right
