Lurleen Lumpkin's Songs

You're Wife Don't Understand You, but I Do

Lurleen: You work all day, for some old man,
Sweat and break your back,
Then you go home to your castle,
But your queen won't cut you slack.

That's why you're losin' all your hair,
That's why you're overweight,
That's why you flipped your pickup truck
Right off the interstate.

There's a lot of bull they hand you,
There's nothin' you can do,
Your wife don't understand you, but I do,
I said your wife don't understand you, but I do!

Now you talk so tough, act so rough,
But darling you can't hide,
The heartache and the sadness,
That's buried deep inside.

Bagged Me a Homer

Lurleen: Oh the bases were empty on the diamond of my heart,
When the coach called me up to the plate,
I'd been swingin', and missin', at lovin' and kissin',
My average was point double oh eight.

So I spit on my hands, knocked the dirt from my spikes,
And pointed right towards centre field,
This time I'm hitting a home run,
This time the love is for real.

I'll slide... I'll steal... I'll sacrifice
A lovin' fly for you,
I been slumping all season but now I found a reason,
I struck on a love that is true.

I used to play the field,
I used to be a roamer,
But the season's turning 'round for me now,
I finally bagged me a homer.

That's right, I finally bagged me a Homer.

Bunk With Me Tonight

Lurleen: In this trailer, I get so cold and lonely,
Lying there awake at night, muttering if only
You weren't married, So I might ask you
To bunk with me tonight,
Bunk with me tonight, oh, bunk with me tonight,
I'm asking, will you bunk with me tonight.

Stand By Your Manager

Lurleen: His name is Homer, he's quite a man,
I tried to kiss him, but Homer ran.
Sure wish I could say, that I was his,
I hope that Marge knows, just how lucky she is.
