Lyrics
Don't come knocking on my back door
Begging me to take you in
I ain't going down that road again
Heaven knows where you been, hey where you been?
I stumbled and rattled around these walls
Stayed up crying 'till the break of dawn
Everybody's worried 'bout the shape I'm in
All from worrying about where you been, hey where you been?
Chorus:
If it weren't so sad you know it might be funny
You chased every girl in town
Now the parties are over and you got no money
You finally come back around
You called my mama with a sorry face
Wanted her to plead your case
She didn't have much to say
She never liked you anyway, anyway
Don't cry honey you'll be fine
Find a new wife down the line
You can have our cat and your life of sin
I won't worry about where you been, hey where you been?
Chorus
Break
Don't come knocking on my back door
Begging me to take you in
I ain't going down that road again
Heaven knows where you been, hey where you been?
It's too late honey I'm over you
No more crying and feeling blue
You don't have to be home by eight
I won't worry 'bout why you're late, why you're late
Chorus
Don't come knocking on my back door
