Every Time I Itch I Wind Up Scratchin You

You know my love, my only wish
Is happiness for you
So I work real hard to strike it rich
But everytime I do-oo
I blow it all on some ol’ witch
I hardly ever knew
How come every time I itch
I wind up – scratchin’ you

When everything’s ain’t goin’ right
I hurry home to you
You kiss my lips and you comfort me
As only you can do-oo
But the eagle flies on Friday night
And my senses fly off too
How come every time I itch
I wind up – scratchin’ you

I dream of comin’ home to you
A knight in shinin’ armour
‘Cause it seems to me
That you rate much more
Than a broken down
Busted farmer

Everytime I get ahead
I act like someone new
I waste the whole night talkin’ big
And spendin’ money too-oo
Then I sneak in bed beside you
Broke and blue
How come every time I itch
I wind up – scratchin’ you
