The Evening News

Your wife was on the evenin' news
Feeding that tiger from a baby bottle
And now you're tryin' to tell me
He's not yours?
You scooped him up in the back of your truck
Without a scrape without a cut
Your locks are loose and your lies are even worse

Orange stripes outside my window
Good day to stay inside
Dialed animal control
They laughed and hung up the line
The top of the Texas food chain's higher than it used to be
But when you see a tiger with a pacifier, he must belong to somebody!

The anchor asked, "who's tiger is that?"
And imagine my surprise
When you said, "I love him like a favorite pet,
But he belongs to a friend of mine"

Your wife was on the evenin' news
Feeding that tiger from a baby bottle
And now you're tryin' to tell me
He's not yours?
You scooped him up in the back of your truck
Without a scrape without a cut
Your locks are loose and your lies are even worse

You were yelling, "close that door immediately"
Acting like a seasoned pro
You grabbed him when he turned to look my way
And in a second you were on the go
The cops and the sheriff chased but they never stood a chance
The TV station got there first and they knew just the questions to ask

Your wife explained before that day
She only met the tiger only once or twice
You were just in the perfect time and place
With your giant white truck with a tiger cage
Don't you think there might've been some dead giveaways
But who could tattle on a tiger tail! Well!

Your wife was on the evenin' news
Feeding that tiger from a baby bottle
And now you're tryin' to tell me
He's not yours?
You scooped him up in the back of your truck
No scrapes, no cuts
Your locks are loose and your lies are even worse
