Me and My .38

I left my key under the mat for you to find
But I never heard the turn of the lock
I'd like to think you couldn't see in the dark
Or maybe you just went blind
I've been waitin' all night just to hold ya
I wasn't born in this life just to scold ya

It's all right, in dead of the night
Just a-creepin' round the corner for a fight
You've always been first out, last in
You're swingin' like an ape, I'm sourer than a grape
And you got a double date with me and my .38

And then they told me that she'd seen you in town
A-chattin' up another eager beaver
She got a second in the street corner fight
Before you tire out before you leave her
I've been waitin' all night just to hold ya
I wasn't born in this life just to scold ya.

But it's all right, in the dead of the night
Just a-creepin' round the corner for a fight
You've always been first out, last in
You're swingin' like an ape, I'm sourer than a grape
And you got a double date with me and my .38

Once upon a lifetime, the queen of my heart
Stranded in the jungle with a turn of heart
I want to kiss away the pain on the floor
But every time I do the funny feeling comes

But it's all right, in the dead of the night
Just a-creepin round the corner for a fight
You've always been first out, last in
You can't begin to start again another end
It's all right at the dead of the night
Just a-creepin' round the corner for a fight
You've always been first out last in
You can't begin to start again another end
But it's all right (fade)
