My name's in the paper where I took the Boy Scouts to hike
|
My hands're all dirty from working on my little boy's bike
|
The preacher came by and I talked for a minute with him
|
My wife's in the kitchen and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn
|
And I know why she's there cause I've been there before
|
But I made her a promise that I wouldn't cheat anymore
|
I tried to ignore it but I know she's in there my friend
|
My mind's on a number and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn
|
[ guitar ]
|
Next Sunday it's my turn to speak to the young people's class
|
They expect answers to all of the questions they ask
|
What would they say if I spoke on a modern day sin
|
And all of the Margies at all of the Lincoln Park Inns
|
The bike is all fixed and my little boy's in bed asleep
|
His little old puppy is curled in a ball at my feet
|
My wife's baking cookies to feed to the Bridge Club again
|
I'm almost out of cigarettes and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn
|
And I know why she's there
|
