Trick Bag

Twelve o'clock last night
You walked out the door
You told me, baby
You was going to the drugstore
But in my mind
I knew you was lying
The drugstore close at a quarter to nine

I saw you kissin' Willie across the fence
Heard you tell Willie I don't have no sense
The way you been acting is such a drag
You're done put me in a trick bag

When I get home
You start an argument
Just to keep me from asking
Where my food done went
I walk in the front door
I hear the back door slam
Peep out my window
Somebody's takin' it on the lamb

Well I saw you kissin' Willie across the fence
Heard you tell Willie I don't have no sense
The way you been acting is such a drag
You done put me in a trick bag

We have a fight
Then you get mad
Get on the telephone
You call your mom and dad
They come a-running down
With bats in their hands
"Don't you hit her no more, you understand?"

I saw her kissin' Willie across the fence
Heard her tell Willie I don't have no sense
The way she been actin' is such a drag
She done put me in a trick bag

You did me wrong
But I know I'm right
It wasn't me, baby
That started the fight
"She's my daughter
And I'm her paw
You ain't nothing but a son-in-law"

But I saw her kissin' Willie across the fence
Heard her tell Willie I don't have no sense
The way she's been acting now is such a drag
She done put me in a trick bag

Yeah
The whole thing is jive
Girlf putting me in a trick bag
Talking about I'm her paw
Nothing but a son-in-law?
I love that woman, give her everything she needs
Come off of this jive
I don't take this jive no more
I'm leavin', man
Going back to Texas
