Lyrics Who's Gonna Take The Garbage Out - Iris DeMent , John Prine

I take too much abuse from you
That's all I ever get
Yeah calling a man like you a husband
Is just like callin' a wild cat a pet
You'd better stop your runnin' around
Say nothin', start movin' on
But who's gonna take your garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone?

Each day you walk all off over me
Can't you find another route
If you'd start actin' like married man
Maybe we could find a 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 a-runnin' round
And that's why you're so peeved
That's another line of the same ole stuff
I hope you don't expect me to believe
Go out tonight but don't come back
'Cause you've just lost a home
But who's gonna take your garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone?

I know you think I'm a-runnin' round
And that's why you're so peeved
That's another line of the same ole stuff
I hope you don't expect me to believe
Go out tonight but don't come back
'Cause you've just lost a home
But who's gonna take that garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone?
Yeah, who's gonna take your garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone?

You're gonna miss me honey gal
You kiddin' me?
You gonna miss me and my Hefty bags
Watch me, I'm leavin' now
I'll take that garbage half the way up the drive
You miss me yet? I'm tryin'
