She'd Rather Be Homeless

It was our 25th anniversary and I was watching the SuperBowl

When suddenly she started cursing me. Hell, I almost dropped my remote control

And she said "That's that" and grabbed her hat and headed out into the snow

And that was almost two long years ago

Now see her shuffling down the street, Combat boots on her dainty feet

She said all my friends were dumb, And she called me "Yuppee scum"

I see her sitting on her full length mink, And as I walk by she winks

Pushing her belongings in a cart from the A&P

She said she didn't give a damn 'bout my BMW or my AT&T

Saying "Spare some change for a lady, a lady who's finally free"

See her bumming cigarettes, On the sidewalk where she sits

She said to take these credit cards of mine, And stick'm whar the sun don't shine

She don't want my bonds and stocks, Living in her cardboard box

Lord, she'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me

Cause she'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me

Oh, she'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me

She'd rather be sleeping in some doorway, Than lolling in the lap of luxury

She'd rather eat soup down at the shelter Than at the C.C. sipping fine Chablis

And when the cold wind starts to blow, Lord, it hurts me so to know

And as I throw her a dime, Lord, it breaks this heart of mine to know

She'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me

She'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
