Ain't No Friend

Hey, mama, you put food on the table, daddy's always gone out on the road

It's hard for a lonely girl to stay faithful, but that taxi driver ain't the way to go

How could a man steal another's family? Don't you know he's gonna take us down in shame?

Follow the love, don't go chasing money 'cause the only thing he'll leave behind is his name

'Cause he gonna come home stumbling in around 3 AM

Waving that gun and swinging that bottle of gin

Might even throw a punch, drunker than a skunk

Hey mama, you know I love you

But John Ruggles, he ain't no friend of mine

This is the last frontier of foul mouths and boozers, Oklahoma could have made a happy home

'Round here are lumberjacks, linemen, and losers, not a soul here is gonna bring us hope

'Cause he gonna come home stumbling in around 3 AM

Waving that gun and swinging that bottle of gin

Might even throw a punch, drunker than a skunk

Hey mama, you know I love you

But John Ruggles, he ain't no friend of mine

Get that dinner off the stove

Light up another smoke

Pack up everything we own

Lock the door and hold me tight

We can make it to the morning light

Get out the map and let's just fire 'way, far away

'Cause he gonna come home stumbling in around 3 AM

Waving that gun and swinging that bottle of gin

Might even throw a punch, drunker than a skunk

Hey mama, you know I love you

Hey mama, you know I love you

But John Ruggles, he ain't no friend, ain't no friend, ain't no friend of mine

Ain't no friend of mine
