Gone to the Y
[Verse 1]
Hey, little brother, are they at it again?
You heard the motor fire up and the car door slam
He's gone to the Y to sleep it all off
He won't be back 'til mornin'
[Verse 2]
She's pacin' the porch, around and around
Cryin' soft and whisperin' loud
Yeah, she cries so soft but she whispers loud
And if you listen close you can make it out
[Chorus]
She's sayin', "Soon as I get I my hands on him, he's gonna wish he'd never been born again"
"Soon as I get my hands on him, he's gonna wish he'd never been born"
[Verse 3]
They had their good sides in and the bad side showin'
You couldn't tell 'em apart when they really got goin'
'Cause their voices got higher like cats on a fence
And neither one made a lick o' sense
It's happened before, it'll happen again
He won't be back till mornin'
[Chorus]
"Soon as I get I my hands on him, he's gonna wish he'd never been born again"
"Soon as I get my hands on him, he's gonna wish he'd never been born"
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
She's mad as a wet hen but she's all right
Better get some sleep while it's nice and quiet
I know it looks bad now but I got no doubt
He'll be back home when church lets out
[Outro]
He's just gone to the Y to sleep it all off
He won't be back till mornin'
Gone to the Y to sleep it all off
He won't be back till mornin'
Hey, little brother, are they at it again?
You heard the motor fire up and the car door slam
He's gone to the Y to sleep it all off
He won't be back 'til mornin'
[Verse 2]
She's pacin' the porch, around and around
Cryin' soft and whisperin' loud
Yeah, she cries so soft but she whispers loud
And if you listen close you can make it out

She's sayin', "Soon as I get I my hands on him, he's gonna wish he'd never been born again"
"Soon as I get my hands on him, he's gonna wish he'd never been born"

You couldn't tell 'em apart when they really got goin'
'Cause their voices got higher like cats on a fence

He won't be back till mornin'

"Soon as I get my hands on him, he's gonna wish he'd never been born"

He won't be back till mornin'
Gone to the Y to sleep it all off
He won't be back till mornin'
