Shes a Sweet Lady

Woke up this morning
With a big knot on my head
I saw the wife's rolling pin
On the floor next to the bed

I cant remember 
What I did last night
Probably came home drunk
And started a fight

She looked at me
And gave me the stink eye
Says I get dumber every day
I don't even try

My body is sore and I lost some teeth
"You better think boy, bout what you do"
"Ill give you more of that rolling pin"
"Cause I can still whip you"

She's a sweet lady most of the time
But I live with the dread
If I say the wrong thing
Ill get whacked upside the head

I think back when we met
It makes me sad
Her mother was a sweet lady
But always whipped her dad
