Tell Ole I Ain't Here, He Better Get On Home

(albüm: Just Good Ol' Boys - 1979)

Well, I was playing the pinball praying for a ten ball
A cussing that ole machine
With a couple of girls a hanging on my back
Then the phone started ringing and Moe started screaming
Hey Joe, it's your old lady and she's mad
She let her fingers do the walking till she's found out where you're at

(And she said) tell ole I ain't here he better get on home
Or else he's gonna find me and the baby gone
If I have to come down after him he's gonna wish he'd come to the phone
So tell ole I ain't here he better get on home

Well, the good Lard knows I love her but she don't understand
Just how much I love this ole honky tonk atmosphere
But when the telephone starts to ringing it scares the hell right out of her man
And I holler out loud if that's for me Moe tell her I ain't here

(But she said) tell ole I ain't here he better get on home
Or else he's gonna find me and the baby gone
If I have to come down after him he's gonna wish he'd come to the phone
So tell ole I ain't here he better get on home

So tell ole I ain't here he better get on home...
