I'M NO LONGER A WHORE

^{“ THE BOSSES WIFE ”}

 

^{I’m taking the long road North, far away from this town}

^{I’m taking the long road North}

^{Gotta collect a debt from a guy that’s been screwing me around.}

 

^{I’m taking the long road North}

^{Don’t know exactly why}

^{Except the boss’s wife said,}

^{“Collect the money or I’m going to make you cry!”}

 

^{I’m taking the long road North}

^{Way up to Grants Pass town}

^{Gotta go North to have myself a look around.}

 

^{Going up North to Grants Pass TOWN to have a look around}

^{Except the asshole probably is nowhere to be found.}

 

^{I’m going up North for the boss’s wife}

^{Thinking every moment about how I going TO save My life.}

^{Lord this must be a mistake.}

 

^{SQUIRMING AND WEEPING AND TRYING TO SHAKE MYSELF AWAKE}

^{DON’T KNOW HOW SHE TALKED ME INTO BEING SUCH A SNAKE.}

^{WAY UP NORTH TO GRANTS PASS TOWN}

^{I KNEW I WOULD HAVE TO GET THERE TO HAVE MYSELF A LOOK AROUND.}

 

^{I WAS THINKING ALL THE TIME UP THIS HOLLOW ROAD}

^{GOD ONLY KNOWS I’M NOT IN THE RIGHT FRAME OF MODE.}

^{I WENT INTO TOWN WITH A LOT OF REGRET}

^{I KNEW I HAD TO FIND THIS ASSHOLE AND COLLECT THE DEBT.}

 

^{THERE I WAS IN THIS OLD TOWN…HAD A WORRIED FROWN…HAD TO HAVE A LOOK AROUND.}

^{THE BOSSES WIFE TOLD ME TO COLLECT THE DEBT}

^{SEEMS LIKE EVERY ONE I KNEW WANTED TO MAKE A BET}

^{I REALLY DIDN’T WANT MY LIFE TO END JUST YET.}

 

^{HAD A HARD LOOK AROUND}

^{THERE IN THAT DIRTY OLD TOWN}

^{I WAS HOPING AND PRAYING THAT I WOULDN’T HAVE TO SHOOT HIM DOWN.}

 

^{AND THERE HE WAS HEADED FOR HIGHER GROUND}

^{HE KNEW I WAS COMING TO HAVE A LOOK AROUND.}

 

 

^{THE PISTOLS POPED AND THE BULLETS FLEW}

^{I WAS WEEPING AND SOBBING AND HUGGING THE GROUND}

^{I KNOW LONGER WANTED TO LOOK AROUND.}

 

^{THE PISTOLS POPPED AND THE BULLETS FLEW}

^{THERE I WAS THINKING, OH GOD…IF HE ONLY KNEW}

^{I SURE WASN’T PACKING MUCH OF CREW}

^{IF HE ONLY KNEW.}

 

^{THERE I WAS IN THAT DIRTY OLD TOWN}

^{ABOUT TO GET MYSELF SCATTERED AROUND.}

 

^{I WAS WEEPING AND SOBBING AND HUGGING THE GROUND}

^{MY EYES WERE TOO FULL OF TEARS FOR ME TO EVEN FROWN.}

^{I FLEAD FOR MY LIFE}

^{NOT THINKING MUCH ABOUT THE BOSSES WIFE}

^{I RAN SOUTH TRYING TO SAVE MY DAMN LIFE.}

 

^{I RAN SOUTH OUT OF THAT DIRTY OLD TOWN}

^{CREEPING AND SLITHERING LIKE A SNAKE ON THE GROUND}

^{I DIDN’T THINK MUCH ABOUT THE BOSSES WIFE}

^{GONNA GET OUT OF THERE AND SAVE MY LIFE.}

 

^{HEADDED SOUTH OUT OF THAT TOWN}

^{SNIFFING AND SNORTING LIKE AN OLD COON HOUND}

^{HEADED SOUTH CRAWLING ON THE GROUND.}

 

^{I DIDN’T CARE MUCH FOR THE BOSSES WIFE}

^{CARED A LITTLE MORE ABOUT MY OWN DAMN LIFE.}

 

^{I HEADED SOUTH TO MY HOMETOWN}

^{FINALLY PICKING MY HEAD UP OFF THE GROUND}

^{THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE MYSELF A LOOK AROUND.}

 

^{I RAN INTO THE BOSSES WIFE}

^{SHE SAID, “YOU BETTER HAVE THE MONEY OR I’ll RUIN YOUR LIFE.”}

 

^{I HAD A LITTLE CHAT WITH THE BOSSES WIFE.}

^{I told her I was thinking about changing my life.}

^{I told her I didn’t care much of her means and schemes}

^{Told her I didn’t care much about her dreams.}

 

^{I left my hometown}

^{Thought I might go have a look around.}

^{Think I’ll go change my life}

^{Just don’t care THAT much for the bosses wife.}
