A Man's Home Is His Castle lyrics - Faith Hill

Linda works the diner

Pourin' coffee, slingin' hash

She said, "I wouldn't have come in today

But I really need the cash

I know I can't fool anyone

'Cause dark glasses tell no lies

But make-up won't cover up a blackened eye"

Oh, oh, oh no

You see, Jimmy works construction now

But yesterday it rained

So he went down to the liquor store

And by noon, he felt no pain

I came in an hour late

Then I let his supper burn

Well, he hit the roof

Hit the wall

And then it was my turn

He said, "A man's home is his castle

It always has been

And so it remains"

But he holds the keys in a fist of rage

His home is his castle

And mine is a cage

Someone must have heard the noise

And they dialed 911

And the cop who showed up at the door asked

"Is there a problem, son?"

Jimmy smiled and said

"No, sir

Just a little fight, that's all

Hey, you know how it gets sometimes

When you're layin' down the law"

Oh, oh, oh no

So I pulled out my suitcase

I started packin' up my clothes

And Jimmy said

"Now, Linda

Where do you expect to go with those?"

I told him I have tried

But not an ounce of love survives

Well, he grabbed my wrist

And shouted, "You're not leaving here alive"

She said, "I'm savin' up my money

And when I get the nerve, I'll run"

But Jim don't give up easily, so I intend to buy a gun

He will never see the way he treats me is a crime

Somebody oughta lock him up

But I'm the one who's done the time

He said, "A man's home is his castle

It always has been and so it remains"

But he holds the keys in a fist of rage

His home is his castle

And mine is a cage
