You've painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted [bad word] are you contemplating
Going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall
Tells me the sun is going down [bad word] Don't take your love to town

It wasn't me
That started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go
And do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's [bad word] that
I'm not the man I used to be [bad word] I still need [bad word] 
Its hard to love a man 
Whose legs are bent and paralysed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age [bad word] I realize,
But it won't be long i've heard them say until I not around [bad word] Don't take your love to town

She's leaving now cause
I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam
100 times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun
And put her in the ground [bad word] Don't take your love to town
 [bad word] for God's sake turn around
