Tough Love
I don't know what hit me
but my good sense up and quit me
Left my job without getting my pay
Had to take a loss, I put two holes in my boss
I guess I gave my notice that way
Drove home in a stolen car
And you don't know how wrong you are
When you say that crime doesn't pay
Went and got the wife, told her starting a new life
"When we leaving?", is all she did say
With the sirens closing in, I told the wife we must begin
Run before we go up in flames
Police on our back, don't you know she had to pack
Woo-hoo, that woman drives me insane
Tough love
We're bringing it to your town
There ain't enough love
We're spreading ours around
Tough love
We're bringing it to your town
There ain't enough love
We're spreading ours around
Went and got a case of beer
My wife took aim and shot his ear
The guy behind the counter got rude
I itched to take a shot, my wife said no
That I should not soaked him in his own attitude
When we finally hit the road
All I could do not to explode
This trucker forced his way into our lane
It wasn't no big deal, my wife took aim and shot his wheel
And left him in a ditch doused in flames
Outside of that Memphis town
Thought that we could settle down
Maybe catch a movie and rest
I had to shoot a man, talking while the movie ran
Talking puts my nerves to the test
Tough love
Bringing it to your town
There ain't enough love
We're spreading ours around
Tough love
We're bringing it to your town
There ain't enough love
We're spreading ours around
Cross the desert had to go
Headed down to Mexico
Kept the death toll low as we could
Hanging at a water stop
Hadn't seen a single cop
Then wife and I was feeling real good
Along comes an SUV
Crass against the scenery
I didn't pay it no mind
Two shots from a .44
My wife shrugged, slammed the door
And left that ugly driver behind
Seems in short order we were standing at the border
Turned around to where we begun
What can I say, we be heading your way
I guess we're having way too much fun
Tough love
Bringing it to your town
There ain't enough love
We're spreading ours around
Tough love
We're bringing it to your town
There ain't enough love
We're spreading ours around
There ain't enough love
We're spreading ours around
but my good sense up and quit me
Left my job without getting my pay
Had to take a loss, I put two holes in my boss
I guess I gave my notice that way
Drove home in a stolen car
And you don't know how wrong you are
When you say that crime doesn't pay
Went and got the wife, told her starting a new life
"When we leaving?", is all she did say
With the sirens closing in, I told the wife we must begin

Police on our back, don't you know she had to pack
Woo-hoo, that woman drives me insane
Tough love

There ain't enough love
We're spreading ours around
Tough love
We're bringing it to your town
There ain't enough love
We're spreading ours around

There ain't enough love
We're spreading ours around
