Theres something happening in a small Indiana town
Theres thunder rumbling and the lightning coming down
And you dont hear me as I ride into town
The skys on fire and I cant feel the ground
Chorus
Im coming back home for you tonight
Gonna teach you some southern etiquette girl if thats alright
Im coming back home just for you
I loved you once but now P.S. baby were through
I throw her memories and the ring upon the floor
All her pictures lie there tattered now and torn
And here I sit fighting a raging storm...
While she is.. probably snuggled up with someone, somewhere warm
Im coming back home for you tonight
Gonna teach you some southern etiquette if thats alright
Im coming back home just for you..
I loved you once but now P.S. baby were through
music break
She didnt hear me as I came into the door
She didnt hear my cowboy boots across the floor..ha ha ha
These are deadly clues that a wife should not ignore
You should have seen them when I raised my 44
Im coming back home for you tonight
Gonna teach you some southern etiquette girl if thats alright
I coming back home just for you
I loved you once but now PS girl..were through
Im coming back home brother for you to..
Sleeping with my wife aint something a southern boy should do
Im coming back home for the two of you
adios..see ya later were through
Baby you ready to ride...
music
The thunders rumbling .. and the lightnings coming down
The skys on fire... and I cant feel the ground ..noooo
music
thats southern etiquette baby...
