Hill Faith A Man S Home Is His Castle lyrics

Linda works the diner pourin` coffee slingin` 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 much have heard the noise and they dialed 911
And the cop that 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 layin` down the law`
Oh, oh, oh no

`So I pulled out my suitcase I started packin` 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 leavin` here alive`

She said `I`m savin` 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`
