Lines In The Carpet

Lyrics

He don't hear her say goddammit when she's Cloroxing the granite But she's just like ceramic 'bout to break He don't see her tears on that floor when she's dusting off the baseboards It feels like that's all she's made for nowadays [Chorus] And she won't tell him, and he ain't asking Throw another towel in the laundry basket She ain't happy, but what she needs she can't buy at the supermarket She's a mess, but the house is clean as the cover of Bettеr Homes and Gardens And he can't rеad between the lines in the carpet [Post-Chorus] No, he can't [Verse 2] He splits his time between the golf course and gin and tonics on the back porch He don't talk to her much no more, he only yells The kids and pot roast keep her busy because when you're born that pretty You get to be Miss Mississippi and nothing else [Chorus] And she won't tell him, and he ain't asking Throw another towel in the laundry basket She ain't happy, but what she needs she can't buy at the supermarket She's a mess, but the house is clean as the cover of Better Homes and Gardens And he can't read between the lines in the carpet [Bridge] She keeps pushing that Dyson every day All over again And he'll come home from work tonight And walk all over them [Chorus] He ain't changing, she ain't leaving Because he doesn't hit her and the kids are sleeping And she ain't happy, but what she needs she can't buy at the supermarket She's a mess, but the house is clean as the cover of Better Homes and Gardens And he can't read between the lines in the carpet [Post-Chorus] No, he can't
