He never wanted it like this Just for once, (hed) like to be greeted with a kiss But hes scared of his own home She never leaves himalone For twenty-three years he stood quietly While she took his manhood, and his dignity (but) Now the kids are all gone This shouldnt take very long
He dug a shallow grave To the earth he took his spade Couldnt stand for one more day So he dug a shallow grave
He takes breath and he says a prayer Raises his shovel high into the air He brings it down upon her head Just one blow and now shes dead Drags her body to the back door Leaves a trail of blood on the floor He bends down to close her eyes And then he starts to cry But never the less, hes glad that shes gone Throws her in the ground and piles the dirt on Goes inside to wash his face Feels his heart begin to race
He dug a shallow grave To the earth he took his spade Couldnt stand for one more day So he dug a shallow grave
Starts to realize just what hes done Goes into the basement, grabs his gun Puts the barrel to his head can not believe shes really dead
What wi will he tell the neighbors, when they pass by the way? What wi will he tell the children, when they come on Christmas day? What wi will he tell her parents, when they ask for their daughter? What wi will he tell the D.A. when they charge himwith manslaughter
He pulls the trigger and he hears a click The quick solutions not always the quickest fix
He dug a shallow grave To the earth he took his spade Couldnt stand for one more day So he dug a shallow grave ... no reason to get excited
