Lyrics
Hardware Store Blues
Verse1
Well I think I?m happily married to a girl I met next door
We started off real happy man, we were dirt poor
But things got better as work knocked on my door
Now we can buy lots of goodies at the local Dollar store.
We bought a new camaro and a house across the street
We were really happy man, life was so sweet
As happy as two pilgrims for the land under our feet
But the ground got a little shaky as a girl smiled at me so sweet
Interlude
She was working at the check-out at the local hardware store
When she asked me to come over and do a little chore
I said that?s fine, but don?t shut the door
She said her sink needed fixin?, but it turned into a whole, a whole lot more.
Verse 2
Well I was driving down the highway just as fast as can be
And I looked in the mirror and who did I see?
It was my wife, catching up with me
I was driving my old pick-up, she was driving her brand, her brand new Zee.
Well I think I would have felt better if the swat team was on my tail
Knowing the worst thing that could happen was to wind up in jail
But that?s not the case, now I?m a facing life
In the hands of a girl, a girl I call my wife.
Interlude
Well there was a big misunderstanding about what really took place
So I took my wife to the hardware store before she slapped my face
And we went in, and saw her standing there.
She said her plumbing?s doing better,
There?s no need for future repair.
