lyrics

All the stuff is packed now, The kids in the back seat
My wife is so angry, she can't even look at me
Hundred bucks in my wallet, that's all we have left
it's not enough gas for the trip, and i could't be more stressed.
We packed the last of the refrigerator in our lil' ice box
Behind us a U-haul that holds all we've got

A deed for your deeds, Your behavior's receipt
A deed for your deeds, Your victory, our defeat

Got family in Kentucky, my brother said we'd stay in his home
He's got one extra bedroom, but we cannot stay long
His wife she's expecting, He told me he's no savior
He has no fishes He has no loaves,
I think back on your pretty, pretty picture
you painted to show me I'd be richer
you never drew me

A deed for your deeds, Your behavior's receipt
A deed for your deeds. We've yet to see it.

It's a shame, such a shame, such a shame, sad, sad shame

My wife she once loved me, I don't blame her for not
The days were so safe then, seems like she's forgot.
All my bad investments loom within the room.
The children smile and laugh, yet to inherent our gloom.
Neither of us is the villain; it's hard to act WELL when you feel BAD
Stressfully consumed, she's belittling me I'm screaming at her

Shame to my name
A deed for your deeds, Your behavior's receipt
Shame to my name
A deed for your deeds, we desperately need it
Shame to my name
A deed for your deeds, Your behavior's receipt
Shame to my name
A deed for your deeds, and we've yet to see it
