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 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
Well 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 mans home is his castle
It always has been and so it remains
He holds the keys in a fist of rage
His home is his castle and mine is a cage
Some one must have heard the noise
And they dialed nine one one
And the cop who showed up at the door asked
Is there a problem son
And jimmy smiled and said no sir just a little fight thats all
Hey you know how it gets some times
When you're laying down the law 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 ive tried but not an ounce of love survived
Then he grabbed my wrists 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 dont give up easily
So I intend to buy a gun
He will never see the way he treats me is a crime
Somebody ought to lock him up
But I'm the one whos done the time
He says a mans home is his castle
It always has been and so it remains
He holds the keys in a fist of rage
His home is his castle and my cage
