Plucking curlers from their hair
Perfume just a touch
Send their husbands on their way
And set the kids out playing jacks and double dutch
All these corn-fed country women
Thinking about a glass of wine at 8am
They're all standing by the window
Waiting for the milkman to walk by again
Never lonely, they're never blue
Feeling feverish in the morning
Nightgown draped just so
That scented paper on the doorframe
Reads "Doctor, you can make yourself at home
I'm just waiting in the bedroom
Working on a little brandy for my ills
Won't you come upstairs and join me?
Maybe you can help me to explain these chills"
Never lonely, they're never blue
Run home to the city
Tell them spinsters what you saw
Tell them that there's something to the land
The dairy out there does delivery
And the doctor comes right to your door
And the sheriff leaves those back roads undermanned
Sheriff, sheriff, hurry over
Someone's in my home
There's footsteps creaking in the study
And the old man's fishing, left me all alone
Bring your tin star, your revolver
I'm so desperate I don't know what I might do
Leave your truck parked around the corner
Leave the rabbits on the back roads for a few
