A Man's Home Is His Castle

A Man's Home Is His Castle

(альбом: It Matters To Me - 1995)

Linda works the diner
Pouring coffee, slinging hash
She said, "I wouldn't have come in today
But I really need the cash
I know I can't fool anyone
'Cause dark glasses tell no lies
But make-up won't cover up a blackened eye"
Oh, oh, oh no

You see, Jimmy works construction now
But yesterday it rained
So he went down to the liquor store
And by noon, he felt no pain
I came in an hour late
Then I let his supper burn
Well, he hit the roof
Hit the wall
And then it was my turn

He said, "A man's home is his castle
It always has been
And so it remains"
But he holds the keys in a fist of rage
His home is his castle
And mine is a cage

Someone must have heard the noise
And they dialed 911
And the cop who showed up at the door asked
"Is there a problem, son?"
Jimmy smiled and said
"No, sir
Just a little fight, that's all
Hey, you know how it gets sometimes
When you're laying down the law"
Oh, oh, oh no

So I pulled out my suitcase
I started packing up my clothes
And Jimmy said
"Now, Linda
Where do you expect to go with those?"

I told him I have tried
But not an ounce of love survives
Well, he grabbed my wrist
And shouted, "You're not leaving here alive"

She said, "I'm saving up my money
And when I get the nerve, I'll run"
But Jim don't give up easily, so I intend to buy a gun
He will never see the way he treats me is a crime
Somebody oughta lock him up
But I'm the one who's done the time

He said, "A man's home is his castle
It always has been and so it remains"
But he holds the keys in a fist of rage
His home is his castle
And mine is a cage
