I spend the half the day cookin'
But I wind up havin' dinner all alone
Because he stopped off with some friends to see
Just how much they could drink on their way home
By the time he makes it home the food is just about as cold as I am
And his stayin' home woman is gettin' tired of her stayin' out man

He oughta be a Texas rancher
'Cause he sure spreads a lotta bull around
Tellin' how he won the war he made
The others finally lay all their weapons down
But there won't be a big parade tonight
When a hero comes marchin' home again
And his stayin' home woman's gettin' tired of her stayin' out man

He's the type of man that likes to brag
And boast about what little that he's done
While he's drinkin'
While he's out with ole friends laughin' it up and havin' fun
What is he thinkin'
I know that another woman ain't about to ever cross his mind
'Cause when it comes to lovin' he's comin' home to mine

Well the lawn sure needs a cuttin'
And the hedges need to be trimed by the walk
But each time I mention work to him
He gives me dirty looks and double talk
It's a shame to know the one you love
Won't hardly even lend a helpin' hand
And his stayin' home woman's gettin' tired of her stayin' out man
And his stayin' home woman's gettin' tired of her stayin' out man
