Who’s Gonna Take The Garbage Out John Prine (Ft. Iris DeMent)

I take too much abuse from you
That's all I ever get
Yeah callin' a man like you a husband
Is just like callin' a wild cat a pet
You'd better stop your runnin' around
Say nothin', start movin' on
But who's gonna take your garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone?

Each day you walk all over me
Can't you find another route?
If you'd start actin' like a married man
Maybe we could find a way to work things out
You'll find your key won't fit the lock
If you keep on keepin' on
But who's gonna take your garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone?

I know you think I'm a-runnin' round
And that's why you're so peeved
That's another line of the same old stuff
I hope you don't expect me to believe
Go out tonight, but don't come back
'Cause you just lost a home
But who's gonna take your garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone?
