Check Writing Woman


Chorus (as verse)

Check writin' woman, got my paper all over town (2x)
Been all over three counties tryin' to run this bad paper down

When the woman wants a steak, she forge a check at the market
She wants her a car, and a place to park it
She don't do no work, just reaches in my pocket
The sheriff says my checks are bouncin' like a rocket
Chorus ("four counties")

Now if the kid needs shoes, that's all right with me,
Come see me for the dough, easy as 1,2, 3,
But don't go behind my back, stealin' all my money,
Then askin' me for more, that's a no-go, honey,
Chorus ("half of Oklahoma")

Now a woman's got needs, and she wants 'em right now
And I sweat and I strain to give 'em to her somehow
But I won't work a lick, or use my two hands
If she takes me for a mark, boys, and that's just how it stands
Chorus ("Oklahoma and Arkansas")
Chorus vamp al coda ("all over this world")
