I drove all night just to get back home
What was waiting in my bed?
My woman lying there with another man
I ain't a gonna let that stand
That stand, that stand
I ain't a gonna let that stand
I pulled my pistol and I watched him run
Naked as the day he was born
I cocked the hammer then I looked at my wife
I said you ain't a gonna live here no more
No more, no more
You ain't a gonna live here no more
I went to work and the boss man put me down
Said that I was just a damn fool
I got so mad that I laid him out
I said I ain't a gonna take that from you
From you, from you
I ain't a gonna take that from you
The boss man smiled when he looked up at me
Said he knew it'd end up this way
He fired me then he laughed when he said
You ain't a gonna get no more pay
No pay, no pay
You ain't a gonna get no more pay
Now I got no woman and I got no job
Somehow I feel like I'm free
I live how I want and I get what I need
I ain't a gonna stay in misery
Misery, misery
I ain't a gonna stay in misery
