You've painted up your lips
 And rolled and curled your tinted hair
 [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
 Who 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 paralyzed
 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'm 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
 Some one hundred 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
