Well, it's 7 a.m. and she awoke by the radio

Yea she rolled on over said, "Where did my man go?"

She's been a gunslinger's wife all her life

Now she fights when she's able

For the sake of the kids when the knife's at their necks in the cradle

She screams



Chorus

I'll believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight

I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight



Well she's got all the kids and she's got all their uses

But she loves them the same for neglect and abuses

She got a warm spot where they fought

And they made up last evening

He said, "Don't read too much into the fact

That I'm leaving."

She screams,



I'll believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight

I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight

I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight

I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight



How do I explain this

I mean how do I put this into words

It's one thing or another

But it's neither this nor that

Actually it's a collection of things

She said, "That's it, that's it, get out"



Well her mother said, "Kill him, slow at your leisure"

Ah but desperate times call for desperate measures

So she went to the closet and she pulled the old gun down

"I'll put a bullet through his heart if he ain't home by sundown"

Yea 5:55 he comes walking in the front door smiling

He said, "Don't read too much into what I ain't denying"

She screams...



I'll believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight

I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight

I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight

I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight

Well I believe in you
