Bring It Home (feat. Jaime Wyatt)

Bill Jacksons just as good or bad as any man Ive seen
Hes just about as good or bad as either you or me
When Bill would come home late at night from a party or a spree
Hed bring his wife an electric gift and heres what Bill would say
Good morning dear, good evening dear, good afternoon I say
I stopped to have a friendly chat with a neighbor down the way
When I saw her connections and all the things theyll do
I thought, my dear, Id buy a few and bring them home for you
A mixer and a toaster, he plugged into the wall
A stew pot and a coffee pot to boil things you boil
Her home looked like a hardware store, it shined so bright and gay
And every trip Bill snuck back home, these same old words hed say
Good morning dear, good evening dear, good afternoon I say
I stopped to have a friendly chat with a neighbor down the way
When I saw her connections and all the things theyll do
I thought, my dear, Id buy a few and bring them home for you
This wash machine and wringer to make your linens white
That iron here, that sweeper there to make your work so light
This beater here, this heater here, I guess you think me strange
For carrying on my shoulders such a big electric range
Good morning dear, good evening dear, good afternoon I say
I stopped to have a friendly chat with a neighbor down the way
When I saw her connections and all the things theyll do
I thought, my dear, Id buy a few and bring them home for you
One winter night the groundwas white and covered oer in sleet
The morning sun, already high as Bill came down the street
When Bill got home his wife was gone, she left this front door note
Twas with a sickly trembling hand Bill read the words she wrote
Good morning dear, good evening dear, good afternoon I say
Im having the friendliest chat of my life with the neighbor down the way
Im checking their connections to see the things theyll do
It occurred theyd make a mighty fine replacement for you
Good morning dear, good evening dear, good afternoon I say
