Rooster

Marriage, it ain't all we thought it would be There are bills nearly every week and dishes in the sink The groceries cost too much, and the car is catchin' rust And every time your mother comes, she comments on the dust Now doesn't it seem like maybe we've been here before I'll plant a few chickens, and raise a little corn Ain't nothin' wrong with that old front door But when I come home to roost Yeah, when I come home to roost I'll come home to roost With you We never did have kids; that's probably just as well 'Cause we don't need anyone else to make our lives hell Our jobs keep us lonely most of the time But if you come and ask us, we'll just say that we're doin' fine Now doesn't it seem like maybe we've been here before I took all of our money, I went down to the store But all's we could afford were these rotten apple cores Oh, but when I come home to roost When I come home to roost I'll come home to roost With you The lawn is overgrown and the garden's mostly dead The mower it won't start, so I just leave it in the shed And the laundry's on the couch, just like it's been all week You said that you'd cook dinner then you ordered us Chinese Now doesn't it seem like maybe we've been here before When my mother met you, she gave me the what for Maybe that's why she and I don't talk anymore But when I come home to roost Yeah, when I come home to roost I'll come home to roost With you Yeah, doesn't it seem like maybe we've been here before We fight and complain and then we whine some more If our love was money, we'd still be piss-poor Oh, but when I come home to roost Yeah, when I come home to roost I'll come home to roost Yeah I'm comin' home to roost With you
