He never wanted it like this
|
Just for once, (he'd) like to be greeted with a kiss
|
But he's scared of his own home
|
She never leaves him alone
|
For twenty-three years he stood quietly
|
While she took his manhood, and his dignity
|
(but) Now the kids are all gone
|
This shouldn't take very long
|
|
He dug a shallow grave
|
To the earth he took his spade
|
Couldn't stand for one more day
|
So he dug a shallow grave
|
|
He takes breath and he says a prayer
|
Raises his shovel high into the air
|
He brings it down upon her head
|
Just one blow and now she's dead
|
Drags her body to the back door
|
Leaves a trail of blood on the floor
|
He bends down to close her eyes
|
And then he starts to cry
|
But never the less, he's glad that she's gone
|
Throws her in the ground and piles the dirt on
|
Goes inside to wash his face
|
Feels his heart begin to race
|
|
He dug a shallow grave
|
To the earth he took his spade
|
Couldn't stand for one more day
|
So he dug a shallow grave
|
|
Starts to realize just what he's done
|
Goes into the basement, grabs his gun
|
Puts the barrel to his head
|
Can't believe she's really dead
|
|
What will he tell the neighbors, when they pass by the way?
|
What will he tell the children, when they come on Christmas day?
|
What will he tell her parents, when they ask for their daughter?
|
What will he tell the D.A. when they charge him with manslaughter
|
|
He pulls the trigger and he hears a click
|
The quick solution's not always the quickest fix
|
|
He dug a shallow grave
|
To the earth he took his spade
|
Couldn't stand for one more day
|
So he dug a shallow grave
|
... no reason to get excited
|
