She'd Rather Be Homeless
Waylon Jennings
Capo 4
It was our G25th anniDversaGry and I was wCatching the Super GBowl
When suddenly she started cursing me. Hell, I almost dA7ropped my remote contDrol
And she sCaid "That's that" and grGabbed her hat and heDaded out into the sGnow
And Cthat was almost tDwo long years aGgo
1. Now see her sGhuffling dDown the strGeet, Combat bCoots on her dainty fGeet
3. She said all my friends were dumb, And she called me "Yuppee scum"
4. I see her sitting on her full length mink, And as I walk by she winks
1. Pushing her belongings in a cA7art from the A&DP
3. She said she didn't give a damn 'bout my BMW or my AT&T
4. Saying "Spare some change for a lady, a lady who's finally free"
1. See her bGumming cDigaretGtes, On the sCidewalk where she sits
3. She said to take these credit cards of mine, And stick'm whar the sun don't shine
4. She don't want my bonds and stocks, Living in her cardboard box
1. Lord, she'd rGather be homeless, than hDere at home with Gme
3. Cause she'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
4. Oh, she'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
2. She'd rCather be sleeping in some doGorway, Than lolling in the lap of luDxury
5. She'd rather eat soup down at the shelter Than at the C.C. sipping fine Chablis
2. And when the cGold wind stDarts to bGlow, LCord, it hurts me so to know
5. And as I throw her a dime, Lord, it breaks this heart of mine to know
2. She'd rGather be homeless, than hDere at home with Gme
5. She'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
