Lyrics
She comes from a quiet little town. Her daddy?s a banker. Her mom keeps house.
Not expecting somebody like me to come tearin? a Harley right down Main Street
We fell so hard in love. Down at the Dew Drop Inn that night.
The band playing songs ?bout love and we danced and danced and danced all night.
We settled down in that same town. Her folks were always hanging around.
I was bound to let her down. It was the one thing I was sure of.
Chorus:
Oh Chrissy, ain?t gonna take my shit anymore.
She?s had enough, thrown me out. She ain?t gonna hear me scream and shout.
She?s changed the locks on the front door. She ain?t gonna take it no more.
Things were great when it began. We were happy as pigs in shit.
Every night it was wham bam bam. We just couldn?t get enough of it.
Then I started drinking again when I lost my job at the plant.
I was staying out every night til dawn and when I?d come home she?d rave and rant.
And she?d look with demon eyes. The kind you just can?t exorcise.
It?s no surprise when you realize that you?re heading straight for disaster.
Repeat Chorus
Things fall to pieces. When there?s something deep inside
And you can fold up in the creases. But you just can?t hide.
And so the story goes. I hear she?s very happy now.
Well I hear she?s got two kids, a new old man and a pool and a house.
Sometimes I think out loud when I?m riding that bike in the sun.
And I think she must have doubts ?cause we sure knew how to have some fun
Then I have to laugh like hell. Those times my head begins to swell.
It?s just as well ?cause it rings a bell to the times when things got crazy.
Repeat Chorus
