Lyrics
VERSE I
I got that deep down feeling, and this is why I pray,
That that big bad woman won't dig my grave.
PC I
Cause it's been too long and I soon found out,
The price you pay for going without.
At the top of my game I was starting to doubt,
And by the third round she'd knocked me down for the count.
CHORUS
Good God help me, she hit me like a ton o' lead.
Freight train running through the middle of my head.
Good God help me, pony up my thoroughbred.
Cause when she comes to hit me, it's like a ton o' lead.
VERSE II
So when I get that feeling, well now I understand,
That that big bad woman knows how to treat her man.
PC II
See, I've had the luck of barking up the wrong trees.
I certainly know what in the dog house means.
When she laid the bait it didn't take much much time,
To reel me in, before she blew my mind.
Oh, my God.
REFRAIN
Good God help me, she hit me like a ton o' lead...
