Hard Headed Me Lyrics - Roger Miller

Well, he gave me fair warnin', he said let him alone 

But I'd had one too many and refuse to go home 

Then I said somethin' awful and then so did he 

And he hit me and it hurt and my eyes couldn't see 

Hard, hard headed me 

I spoke out of turn once too often 

I'd be better off in my coffin 

Hard headed me 

Well, she gave me fair warnin', many times my wife said 

She said, if you aim to keep me, quit your fool hearty ways 

I said, now listen woman, you better leave me alone 

How long is forever that's how long she'll be gone 

Hard, hard headed me 

I spoke out of turn once too often 

I'd be better off in my coffin 

Hard headed me 

Then they gave me fair warnin', all the folks in my town 

They said, if you ain't gonna straighten up, we're gonna expel one clown 

I said, now just a minute here, you can't do me this way 

How far is it to the next town, I'm walking that way 

Hard, hard headed me 

Well, I spoke out of turn once too often 

I'd be better off in my coffin 

Hard headed me
