Wife Beater Lyrics - Drive By Truckers

You met him at the dance hall 

You only saw his charms 

You said he really swept you off your feet 

Then one night he's drinking 

And jealousy enraged 

He knocked out two of your front teeth 

So you came over to hide out at my place 

I guess I should have killed him there and then 

But you begged me not to 

Now you say he's changed 

And you're gonna go back to him 

Don't give me that bull about how it's for the children 

A man like that could never be a dad 

What happens when he kills you? 

What will they do then? 

Sometimes you ought to ask yourself that 

Don't go back to him he's a wife beater 

You'd be better off with this potato eater 

You say he's changed, don't be a fool 

A man like that's no good for you 

A man like that's no good for you
