Well, I didn't come here to deal with a doggone thing   I just came here to hear the drummer's cymbal ring   There ain't no way you can put me down   I just wanna say that hell's my wife's home town      Well, there's reasons for that and reasons for this   I can't think of any just now but I know they exist   I'm sittin' in the sun 'til my skin turns brown   I just wanna say that hell's my wife's home town   Home town, home town      She can make you steal, make you rob   Give you the hives, make you lose your job   Make things bad, she can make things worse   She got stuff more potent than a gypsy curse      One of these days I'll end up on the run   I'm pretty sure she'll make me kill someone   I'm goin' inside, roll the shutters down   I just wanna say that hell's my wife's home town      Well, there's plenty to remember, plenty to forget   I still can remember the day we met   I lost my reasons a long ago   My love for her is all I know      State gone broke, the county's dry   Don't be lookin' at me with that evil eye   Keep on walkin', don't be hangin' around   I'm tellin' you again that hell's my wife's home town   Home town, home town
