Who's Gonna Take the Garbage Out

Loretta Lynn · Honky Tonk Girl: The Loretta Lynn Collection [1994]

(Johnny Tillotson - Teddy Wilburn)



I take too much abuse

To me that's all I ever get

Yeah, callin' a man like you a husband

Is just like callin' old wild cat a pet.



You'd better stop your runnin' around

Say nothin', stop movin' on

But who's gonna take your garbage out

When I've packed my bags and gone.



Each day you walk off over me

Can't you take another out

If you start actin' like married man

Maybe we could find the way to work things out.



You'll find your key won't fit the lock

If you keep on a keepin' on

But who's gonna take your garbage out

When I've packed my bags and gone.



I know you think I'm runnin' round

And that's why you're so peaked

That's another lie of that same old stuff

But I hope you don't expect me to beleive.



Though after night you don't come back

'Cause you just love the home

But who's gonna take your garbage out

When I've packed my bags and gone.

Honey, who's gonna take your garbage out

When I've packed my bags and gone.

You're gonna miss me honey gal

Ah, you're kiddin'...
