Don't Pay The Ransom Lyrics

Last night I stopped off for a beer on my way home
And I saw this broken hearted sweet thing cryin' all alone
My tender heart was deeply touched at the sight of a woman's tears
So I said hi there and I pulled up a chair and ordered us a couple of beers

We must have drunk a gallon of brew
When I looked at my watch it was half past two
And I suddenly realized I hadn't even called my wife
And knowin' what would happen to me when I get home
I nearly broke my neck gettin' to the phone
And here's what I told her in an effort to save my life

Don't pay the ransom honey I've escapedNat Stuckey - Don't Pay The Ransom - http://motolyrics.com/nat-stuckey/dont-pay-the-ransom-lyrics.html
Considering what I've been through I'm in good shape
Well my wrist and ankles are a little sore from the tape
But don't pay the ransom honey I've escaped

[ guitar - steel ]
Now if you got tied up somewhere tonight on your way home
In a poker game or with a pretty dame and it slips your mind to phone
Don't blow your cool like a crazy fool and tell your woman where you've been
Your situation requires imagination and I've got a suggestion my friend

Tell her now don't pay the ransom ...
No don't pay the ransom honey I've escaped
