D.C. Leonhardt - Rooster Lyrics

Marriage, it ain't all we thought it would be
There are bills nearly every week and dishes in the sink
The groceries cost too much, and the car is catchin' rust
And every time your mother comes, she comments on the dust

Now doesn't it seem like maybe we've been here before
I'll plant a few chickens, and raise a little corn
Ain't nothin' wrong with that old front door
But when I come home to roost
Yeah, when I come home to roost
I'll come home to roost
With you

We never did have kids; that's probably just as well
'Cause we don't need anyone else to make our lives hell
Our jobs keep us lonely most of the time
But if you come and ask us, we'll just say that we're doin' fine

Now doesn't it seem like maybe we've been here before
I took all of our money, I went down to the store
But all's we could afford were these rotten apple cores
Oh, but when I come home to roost
When I come home to roost
I'll come home to roost
With you

The lawn is overgrown and the garden's mostly dead
The mower it won't start, so I just leave it in the shed
And the laundry's on the couch, just like it's been all week
You said that you'd cook dinner then you ordered us Chinese

Now doesn't it seem like maybe we've been here before
When my mother met you, she gave me the what for
Maybe that's why she and I don't talk anymore
But when I come home to roost
Yeah, when I come home to roost
I'll come home to roost
With you

Yeah, doesn't it seem like maybe we've been here before
We fight and complain and then we whine some more
If our love was money, we'd still be piss-poor
Oh, but when I come home to roost
Yeah, when I come home to roost
I'll come home to roost
Yeah I'm comin' home to roost
With you
