lyrics
Slammed the door last night after a dirty fight left my mama screaming
Feet stomped and eyes glared, she was pissed and I was scared, her ears were steaming
Should I stay or should I leave
Sometimes it's just so damned hard to choose
Between groveling at her feet or parking on the side street, living in my Pontiac blues
Wish I knew what set her off enough to make her spit and cough those nasty names
Maybe then I'd save some face, enough to show some grace and take the blame
She's really blown a gasket this time
Looks like mama's really blown her fuse
I got these parking on the side street, sleeping in the back seat, living in my Pontiac blues
Pontiac Blues
I can't wait til her red light turns green
When she loses her temper she's the meanest mama I've ever seen
Pontiac Blues
I can't wait til her engine cools down
Then I'll pack my belongings and quietly cruise out of town
Well, I don't know what hurts worse, her punch or to hear her curse those four letter words
All I know's I can't stay here, she's bound to burn my ear and my clothes will end up on the curb
I used to sleep on the couch
But, tonight I must stubbornly, simply refuse
I got these parking on the side street, sleeping in the back seat, living in my Pontiac blues
Pontiac Blues
I can't wait til her red light turns green...
