Linda works the diner, pourin coffee, slingin hash
She said, I wouldnt have come in today
But I really need the cash
I know I cant fool anyone cause dark glasses tell no lies
But make-up wont cover up a blackened eye
Oh oh oh no

You see Jimmy works construction now
But yesterday it rained
So he went down to the liquor store
And by noon he felt no pain
I came in an hour late, then I let his supper burn
Well he hit the roof, hit the wall
And then it was my turn

He said, A mans home is castle
It always has been and so it remains
But he holds the keys in a fist of rage
His home is his castle
And mine is a cage

Someone must have heard the noise and they dialed 911
And the cop who showed up at the door asked,
Is there a problem son
Jimmy smiled and said No sir, just a little fight thats all
Hey you know how it gets sometimes
When youre laying down the law
Oh oh oh no

So I pulled out my suitcase
I started packin up my clothes
And Jimmy said, Now Linda, where do you
Expect to go with those
I told him, I have tried but no an ounce
of love survives
Well he grabbed my wrist and shouted
Youre not leaving here alive

She said, Im saving up my money
And when I get the nerve Ill run
But Jim dont give up easily so I intend
To buy a gun
He will never see the way he treats me is a crime
Somebody oughta lock him up
But Im the one whos done the time

He said, A mans home is castle
It always has been and so it remains
But he holds the keys in a fist of rage
His home is his castle
And mine is a cage Las
