  Together Through Life recording session, - October 2008  

Well i didn't come here to deal with a dog gone thing
I just came here to hear the drummer's cymbal ring
There ain't no way you can put me down
I just wanna say that hell's my wife's home town.

Well there's reasons for that and reasons for this
I can't think of any just now, but i know they exist
I'm sittin in the sun 'til my skin turns brown
I just wanna say that hell's my wife's home town, home town, home town.

She can make you steal, make you rob
Give you the hives, make you lose your job
Make things bad, she can make things worse
She got stuff more potent than a gypsy curse.

One of these days I'll end up on the run
I'm pretty sure she'll make me kill someone
I'm going inside, roll the shutters down
I just wanna say that hell's my wife's home town.

Well there's plenty to remember, plenty to forget
I still can't remember the day we met
I lost my reason a long ago
My love for her is all i know.

State gone broke, the county's dry
Don't be lookin' at me with that evil eye
Keep on walkin', don't be hangin' around
I'm tellin' you again that hell's my wife's home town, home town, home town.
