somebody wants me out of the way

George Jones

Somebody keeps payin' my bar tab but the bartender won't tell me who
He gives me six cold ones to go when he closes and slips me a dollar or two
My woman is keeping me busy and I'm afraid to go ask her why
But the more I keep drinking the more I keep thinking
There's somebody new in her life

Somebody wants me out of the way
And I bet that I'll find out when I go home today
Here comes the waitress with a loaded down tray
Somebody wants me out of the way

Now my woman is under suspicion and all I can see in my mind
Is two cheatin' lovers who love under cover
And the cover they're under is mine

Somebody wants me out of the way...
Somebody wants me out of the way
