Luanne's fat lip is drying
The bastards bacon, frying
The shiner 'round her eye
Gone bust and bleeding
He shouts girl set the table
But he knows she ain't able
Her arms done broke
And limp like yoke
And softly she's repeating
Leave Luanne
Why don't you march out that door
Southern woman he ain't no good to you
Leave Luanne
Louisiana wants war
But it's you dying on her ruby plains
And yet loyal Luanne remains
Ever since he got him laid off
His sanity just made off
No, he was never
Nice but now he's cruel
He rapes her
And he beats her
She don't 'fess how he treats her
'Cause a bible verse says it won't get worse
And she won't be a fool
You won't never
Leave Luanne
'Cause if you walk out that door
His truck will be gunnin' for you
No you won't
Leave Luanne
Or he'll give you what for
Ya got heart where you shoulda had brains
And so loyal Luanne remains
Some ones
Howling
Screams like sighing
With battered breath
Gaiting
Growling
Never
Dying
In a fate worse than death
But months of such conditions
Turn laymen to logicians
And tonight the bastard's sleeping like a log
So she plucks the kitchen cleaver
Creeps toward his roped up lab-retriever
And she cuts the rope and hope on hope
She starts to shout
Your dogs got out
She's got her chance
With no back glance
She runs out to the bog
Screamin', screamin'
Leave Luanne
Leave Luanne
You got a life left to live
In a house hanging of the golden coast
Leave Luanne
You won't forget nor forgive
And she don't feel the stings and rips and scrapes
As finally Luanne escapes
Swim, Luanne
Swim, Luanne
And in this swamp of leeches
As the preacher preaches
As a light, in the night
Push through the Martian brushes
As the blood inside you rushes
Left and right
All your might
Until you reach the bank
And you crawl onto the bank
'Till ya feel a little yank on your head
And stricken stare at the bastard
Who beat you there
The bastard lies in bed now
Half sad his wife is dead now
She drowned her self in the swamp
In wild despair
He thinks he used to love her
But pushing came to shove her
A wife disposed
A life case closed
And no one seems to care
To greive Luanne
Now no ones on his shoulder
But his mattress don't feel colder
In fact it's hellish hot
And the air is dank and steaming
Yet his body starts to shiver
When the window
Cracks a sliver
An a fiery fog form the miry bog
Pours in the room in a sticky gloom
And there the man sees dead Luanne
He's terrified
But keeps his pride
Cause he know that he ain't dreaming
And he starts screaming
Leave Luanne
Hell sent ya back here for more
Cause ain't no one ever loved you
But said Luanne
I come to settle a score
And she shows him her feet are bound in chains
And loyal Luanne remains
And remains
And remains
And remains
Some ones
Howling
Screams like sighing
With battered breath
Graiting
Growling
Never
Dying
In a fate worse than death
Luanne she cries miserable name
So the bastards
Will never sleep again
No no no reprieve Luanne
She brings their souls down to hell
A caution to the poorest of men
God loves Luanne
Praise be amen
