HOOK IN MY LIP

Squawking in the barnyard, chicken on the fence
Cats are in my bed and I don't ever get no rest
My daughters in the haystack, screaming and a shouting
My wife's in New York City
She's cheating on me, there’s no doubting it
How’d I get into this mess
I got a hook in my lip
I got a hook in my lip
I got a hook in my lip
Haven't paid the rent, it's almost April the 15th
Sam has got his index finger pointed straight at me
My corn is almost ready, but my tractor’s in the shop
I'm going to get out the colt and the rye
Take a couple shots
How’d I get into this mess
I got a hook in my lip
I got a hook in my lip
I got a hook in my lip
I got a hook in my lip
Went to the bank, overdrew my account
Took my watch down to Sadie's thrift shop
Got my things together, got the car all packed
Headed down the road, thought I was never coming back
But I came back
God damn those kids!
I got a hook in my lip
I got a hook in my lip
I got a hook in my lip
I got a hook in my lip
I got a hook in my lip
I got a hook in my lip
I got a hook in my lip
I got a hook in my lip
