Leave Luanne

Luanne's fat lip is drying
 The bastards bacon, frying
 The shiner 'round her eye
 Gone bust and bleeding
 He shouts girl set the table
 But he knows she ain't able
 Her arms done broke
 And limp like yoke
 And softly she's repeating
 Leave Luanne
 Why don't you march out that door
 Southern woman he ain't no good to you
 Leave Luanne
 Louisiana wants war
 But it's you dying on her ruby plains
 And yet loyal Luanne remains
 Ever since he got him laid off
 His sanity just made off
 No, he was never
 Nice but now he's cruel
 He rapes her
 And he beats her
 She don't 'fess how he treats her
 'Cause a bible verse says it won't get worse
 And she won't be a fool
 You won't never
 Leave Luanne
 'Cause if you walk out that door
 His truck will be gunnin' for you
 No you won't
 Leave Luanne
 Or he'll give you what for
 Ya got heart where you shoulda had brains
 And so loyal Luanne remains
 Some ones
 Howling
 Screams like sighing
 With battered breath
 Gaiting
 Growling
 Never
 Dying
 In a fate worse than death
 But months of such conditions
 Turn laymen to logicians
 And tonight the bastard's sleeping like a log
 So she plucks the kitchen cleaver
 Creeps toward his roped up lab-retriever
 And she cuts the rope and hope on hope
 She starts to shout
 Your dogs got out
 She's got her chance
 With no back glance
 She runs out to the bog
 Screamin', screamin'
 Leave Luanne
 Leave Luanne
 You got a life left to live
 In a house hanging of the golden coast
 Leave Luanne
 You won't forget nor forgive
 And she don't feel the stings and rips and scrapes
 As finally Luanne escapes
 Swim, Luanne
 Swim, Luanne
 And in this swamp of leeches
 As the preacher preaches
 As a light, in the night
 Push through the Martian brushes
 As the blood inside you rushes
 Left and right
 All your might
 Until you reach the bank
 And you crawl onto the bank
 'Till ya feel a little yank on your head
 And stricken stare at the bastard
 Who beat you there
 The bastard lies in bed now
 Half sad his wife is dead now
 She drowned her self in the swamp
 In wild despair
 He thinks he used to love her
 But pushing came to shove her
 A wife disposed
 A life case closed
 And no one seems to care
 To greive Luanne
 Now no ones on his shoulder
 But his mattress don't feel colder
 In fact it's hellish hot
 And the air is dank and steaming
 Yet his body starts to shiver
 When the window
 Cracks a sliver
 An a fiery fog form the miry bog
 Pours in the room in a sticky gloom
 And there the man sees dead Luanne
 He's terrified
 But keeps his pride
 Cause he know that he ain't dreaming
 And he starts screaming
 Leave Luanne
 Hell sent ya back here for more
 Cause ain't no one ever loved you
 But said Luanne
 I come to settle a score
 And she shows him her feet are bound in chains
 And loyal Luanne remains
 And remains
 And remains
 And remains
 Some ones
 Howling
 Screams like sighing
 With battered breath
 Graiting
 Growling
 Never
 Dying
 In a fate worse than death
 Luanne she cries miserable name
 So the bastards
 Will never sleep again
 No no no reprieve Luanne
 She brings their souls down to hell
 A caution to the poorest of men
 God loves Luanne
 Praise be amen
