about

From Two Guitars, Bass & Drums

lyrics

She’s a housewife
Her husband’s worked the night shift
At the plant for forty years
They have a nice little trailer
In a nice little court
And a poodle they love
Like the child they never had

They go to the VFW Club
On Friday nights
She has a sloe gin fizz
And some fries from the kitchen
Tips the waitress fifty cents
Has her hair done the same way
That she has for thirty years

Some say her life’s useless
It’s boring, it’s dull
But she’s happy, she’s satisfied

Nearly every day she cries
When she remembers the day that Elvis died
She doesn’t covet what she doesn’t have
She’s happy…

She has a hobby
She paints ceramics and bowls twice a month
She goes dancing with her husband when they can
Or to the wrestling matches
At the local arena

Some say her life’s useless
It’s boring, it’s dull
But she’s happy, she’s satisfied

Nearly every day she cries
When she remembers the day that Elvis died
She doesn’t covet what she doesn’t have
She’s happy…

Some say her life’s useless
It’s boring, it’s dull
But she’s happy, she’s satisfied

Nearly every day she cries
When she remembers the day that Elvis died
She doesn’t covet what she doesn’t have
She’s happy…
