[Verse 1]
Half moon and the lightnin'
Full of hail and hot air
Tornado’s just waitin'
To get back over here
Unsuspecting crackers
On the flat mudland
They don't even know about
They’re gonna get blowed out

[Chorus]
My husband sleeps hard from his years on the run
My daddy sleeps a lot from his years in the war
When the cat's outside I sleep alright
But I get so afraid
Her little heart might
She might get in a fight, lay down and die

[Verse 2]
There's a fine line
'Twixt a preacher and teacher
Oh my first gray hair
It growed through my nose
And I can't say
If it invaded my mustache
It's too much to think about
When I'm bored off my ass
[Chorus]
My husband sleeps hard from his years on the run
My daddy sleeps a lot from his years in the war
When the cat's outside I sleep alright
But I get so afraid
Her little heart might
She might get in a fight, lay down and die

[Verse 3]
Sleep tight, sleep sound
Sleep just but don’t sleep around
Girl, your whoring ways are vile
I just don’t wanna know
'Cause we don’t wanna have to come
To your sexy funeral
Where everybody's feelin' blue
Rememberin' doin’ you

[Chorus]
My husband sleeps hard from his years on the run
My daddy sleeps a lot from his years in the war
When the cat's outside I sleep alright
But I get so afraid
Her little heart might
She might get in a fight, lay down and die
My husband sleeps hard from his years on the run
My daddy sleeps a lot from his years in the war
When the cat's outside I sleep alright
But I get so afraid
Her little heart might
She might get in a fight, lay down and die
She might get in a fight, lay down and die
