Blood On the Floor
Well my mother might be almost sixty
But she's still one damn good-looking
Woman, inside and out she's has such
A kind heart and her feelings run deeper
Than any ocean can and such a beautiful
Beautiful woman who could have any man
But why she settled for you I'll never
Understand, you low down rotten scandal
You good for nothing s.o.b., coming home
Drunk all hours of the night taking your
Frustrations out on her that she didn't do
Anything to deserve...
As a child I couldn't do anything but
Listen to her cry but I'm not a little boy
Anymore and the next time you lay
A finger on her I'll put you six feet under
Do you understand...?
My mama taught me not to lie, my mama
Taught me vengeance is the lord's but I will
Not stand by and watch you abuse her
Anymore so the next time you lay a finger
On her there will be BLOOD, BLOOD ON
THE FLOOR and it won't be mine that's
For sure but they'll be BLOOD, BLOOD ON
THE FLOOR!
