[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'
