From the recording Where The RIver Meets The Sea

There's a reason this song and the song following it are next to each other. Any guy I know has been in this situation, you lose track of time howling at the moon and the next thing you know, you're creeping into the house in a whole lotta trouble. This was recorded for Hey La Hey but I felt we just missed it, this is how it was supposed to be.

Lyrics

She's Gonna Kill Me

Coming home at the break of dawn
Baby, 3 nights in a row
She still keeps all the house lights on
As i walkin on my tip toes
Shouldn’t have driven ...but i couldn’t have stayed
I knew the trouble i was in
T’was a hand i shouldn’t have played
I knew there was no chance to win

I swear she’s gonna kill me
If i don’t kill me first
I swear she’s gonna kill me
If i don’t kill me first

The night is young, like i used to be
But i’m still actin like it
Running around so wild and free
But in these scenes i don’t fit
Closing time is a frequent line,,.,.
When i’m howling at the moon
I convince myself that i’m just fine
But i runnin’ right into ruin

I swear she’s gonna kill me
If i don’ t kill me first
I swear she’s gonna kill me
If i don’t kill me first
She swore that she would thrill me
But left me dying here of thirst
I swear she’s gonna kill me
If i don’t kill me first

High wire walker, smooth drunk talker
I just don’t know when to quit
I’m tired of these lies ‘ and all these alibies
And of all the grief...all the grief that i get

I better go or maybe one for the road
The damage is already done
She doesn’t know that i love her so
But i still like to have my fun
Bars are closed, but Nino knows
A place that will let us in
We can stay a while....tell some jokes with style
Talk a little treason and sin

I swear she’s gonna kill me
If i don’ t kill me first
I swear she’s gonna kill me
If i don’t kill me first
She swore that she would thrill me
But left me dying here of thirst
I swear she’s gonna kill me
If i don’t kill me first
