Somebody Wants Me Out of the Way

(Arthur Leo Owens - Dennis Knutson)



Somebody keeps paying 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.



Chorus:

Somebody wants me out of the way

And I bet 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

It's two cheating lovers who love under cover

And the covers they're under is mine.



Chorus:

Somebody wants me out of the way

And I bet I'll find out when I go home today

Here come the waitress with a loaded down tray

Somebody wants me out of the way.



Somebody wants me out of the way....
