(Vernon Rust)

|
Well I ain't proud of what I'm about to do
|
All alone up here with you
|
With the picture of your man
|
Face down upon the night stand, so he can't see
|
And I don't like running all the red lights here
|
Every time the coast is clear
|
Any time you need my lovin'
|
You know I'll come running, faithfully
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Cause he stays so busy with his money
|
And you, you get so lonely when he's gone
|
And me, I'm just your temporary lover
|
'Til your blues are gone
|
I'm the man of the house whenever he ain't home
|
|
Now the statues on the side of that big gate
|
They're laughing as I drive away
|
And I can't keep from thinking
|
Are they laughing at your old man or at me
|
And the only part that I don't like to play
|
Is the part when I get up and go away
|
I find it mighty hard
|
Just keeping this old heart tucked away
|
Cause he stays...
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
|
I'm the man of the house
|
When your other man ain't home
|
