Katie Bar The Door Lyrics - Cledus T. Judd

I could tell the way she held me 

Out on that sawdust floor 

That later on that evening 

It be Katie bar the door 

No wedding band was a showin' 

But I wasn't looking too hard 

The next thing I knew we pulled up to 

The Blue Moon trailer park 

She poured us a double 

Then she pulled the shades on down 

And I was in hog heaven 

Till I started lookin' around 

I saw cigars in the ashtray 

Then I saw an old twelve gauge 

Then I heard his truck come a driving up 

And I can see me blown away 

Oh, Katie bar the door 

Is that your husband coming home 

(I think he's here) 

I took it for granted 

You were living here alone 

(What am I going to do) 

I don't think he'd believe me 

No matter what I said 

Katie bar the door 

And hide me underneath the bed 

'Cause he came in about half drunk 

And thank God he didn't see 

My red underwear on the rabbit ears 

Of that black and white TV 

I's under the bed all doubled up 

With my kidneys about to bust 

The dust fell off them box springs 

As those two fell into lust 

I laid real still the morning came 

And he went on off to work 

And she leaned over that Posturepedic 

With that I still want you flirt 

A sane man would have went on home 

But that's something I ain't never been 

Somehow the day just slipped away 

Katie there he is again, oh, no 

Oh, Katie bar the door 

Is that your husband coming home 

(I'm in a mess) 

I took it for granted 

You were living here alone 

(He's got a gun) 

I don't think he'd believe me, no matter what I said 

(It's loaded) 

Katie bar the door 

Hide me underneath the bed 

Katie, Katie, Katie 

Baby what we gonna do 

I got my pants on backwards 

And I'm looking for my boots 

You can tell him I'm your brother tell him I'm a bookie 

Or that I'm a Den Scout mother selling Girl Scout cookies 

Baby find me a wig high heel shoes 

Say I'm ugly Aunt Eunice from Baton Rouge 

Honey, honey, honey 

Finally what a man will try 

When he's underneath his death bed fearing for his life 

Oh, Katie bar the door 

Is that your husband coming home 

(Where's my keys) 

I took it for granted 

You were living here alone 

(Oh, they're in my britches) 

I don't think he'd believe me no matter what I said 

(Where's my britches) 

Katie bar the door 

Hide me underneath the bed 

Katie, Katie, Katie 

Oh my gosh, see ya
