George Jones

Somebody Wants Me Out of the Way

Somebody keeps paying my bar tab

But the bartender won't tell me who

He gives me six cold ones to go when he closes

And slips me a dollar or two

My woman is keeping me busy

And I'm afraid to go ask her why but the more

I keep drinking, the more I keep thinking

There's somebody new in her life

Somebody wants me out of the way

And I bet I'll find out when I go home today

Here comes the waitress with a loaded down tray

Somebody wants me out of the way

Now, my woman is under suspicion

And all I can see in my mind

It's two cheating lovers who love under cover

And the covers they're under is mine

Somebody wants me out of the way

And I bet I'll find out when I go home today

Here come the waitress with a loaded down tray

Somebody wants me out of the way

Somebody wants me out of the way
