They got married early
Never had no money
Then when he got laid off
They really hit the skids
He started up his drinkin'
Then he had started fightin'
He took it pretty badly
She took both the kids
She said: "I'm not standing by
To watch you slowly die"
So watch me walking
Out the door, out the door
Out the door, out the door
She went to her brother's
Got a little bar work
He went to the Buttery
He said about a year
Then he wrote a letter
Said I want to see ya
She thought he sounds better
She sent him up the fare
He was riding through the cane
In the pouring rain
On Olympic
To her door, to her door
To her door, to her door
He came in on a Sunday
Every muscle aching
Walking in slow motion
Like he'd just been hit
Did they have a future?
Would he know his children?
Could he make a picture
And get them all to fit?
He was shaking in his seat
Riding through the streets
In a Silver Top
To her ...
Shaking in his seat
Riding through the streets
In a Silver Top
To her door, to her door
To her door, to her door
