Big Talkin' Woman

He's down on his luck She's colder than a coffin He's trying to get back up But the world just won't soften She lays into him hard Every night when he comes in "Where you been big fella Late night at work again?" He rolls his eyes enough To pull them from the sockets He flips out the lining of his Empty front pockets The gesture isn't lost And she won't soon forget That her momma told her This was imminent Big talkin' woman Hard headed man It don't matter what you're saying darling he ain't listenin' He's sleeping on the couch But he ain't really sleeping Just tossing and turning And late night tvin' His mind replays the scene What he wished he would have said But the moments gone Like a broken thread Big talkin' woman Hard headed man It don't matter what you're saying darling he ain't listenin' He rolls out of bed Around 11 am His head is steady pounding From last night's Gin She pours it on again About him staying out all night How her momma told her And how her momma was right Big talkin' woman Hard headed man It don't matter what you're saying darling he ain't listenin'
