[Verse 1] Linda works the diner Pourin coffee, slingin hash She said, I wouldnt have come in today But I really need the cash I know I cant fool anyone Cause dark glasses tell no lies But makeup wont cover up a blackened eye Oh, oh, oh no [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] He said, A mans 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 You might also like[Verse 3] Someone much have heard the noise And they dialed 911 And the cop who showed up at the door asked Is there a problem, son? Jimmy smiled and said No, sir Just a little fight, thats all Hey, you know how it gets sometimes When youre layin down the law Oh, oh, oh no [Verse 4] 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? [Verse 5] I told him I have tried But not an ounce of love survives Well, he grabbed my wrist And shouted, Youre not leaving here alive [Verse 6] She said, Im savin up my money And when I get the nerve, Ill 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 oughta lock him up But Im the one whos done the time [Chorus] He said, A mans 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
