Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you're a long way form home, can't sleep at night
Grab your telephone, somethin' just ain't right
That's evil, evil is going on, wrong
I am warnin' you, brother, you better watch your happy home
[Verse 2]
Well, a long way from home, and can't sleep at all
You know another mule is kickin' in your stall
That's evil, evil is going on, wrong
I am warnin' you, brother, you better watch your happy home
[Verse 3]
You better catch him
'Cause somethin' wrong
In your home
[Verse 4]
Well, if you call her on the telephone, and she answers awful slow
Grab the first train smokin' if you have to hobo
That's evil, evil is going on, wrong
I am warnin' you, brother, you better watch your happy home
[Verse 5]
If you make it to your house, knock on the front door
Run round to the back, you'll catch him just before he go
That's evil, evil is going on
I am warnin' you, brother, you better watch your happy home
