Married Mandolin

Written by Wim Venema From The Lazy Sunday Dream album Midsland Where have you been she screams in his face Holding her breath and then holding her pace Honey I know that look in your eye You better make up some damn good lies Honey I had to work till late Hey don't make me laugh it's a quarter past eight Baby you haven't been sleeping home tonight You better make sure your alibi´s right And the married man, he goes out every night It's a pity she knows how much he lies He's got two kids, a dog and a wife A family man needs a family life Married man he get´s fat and bald He needs a proof he ain't grown too old for the beautiful ladies The married man don´t love her no more Her place in his heart resembles a sore But a divorce aint good for the kids So he decided to keep it all hid Like most of the men of his age he wonders How to get out of the burden he´s under He needs a girl to fit the dress He bought for his wife, in ´65 And the married man died a long long time ago When he said yes he should have said no Bought himself a big fat Cadillac With two fine girls sitting in the back Make a big crash against a tree And all of the girls go shouting We never gonna get married This is a public episode.
