Roger Miller Lyrics
"Hard Headed Me"

Well, he gave me fair warnin', he said let him alone
But I'd had one too many and refuse to go home
Then I said somethin' awful and then so did he
And he hit me and it hurt and my eyes couldn't see

Hard, hard headed me
I spoke out of turn once too often
I'd be better off in my coffin
Hard headed me

Well, she gave me fair warnin', many times my wife said
She said, if you aim to keep me, quit your fool hearty ways
I said, now listen woman, you better leave me alone
How long is forever that's how long she'll be gone

Hard, hard headed me
I spoke out of turn once too often
I'd be better off in my coffin
Hard headed me

Then they gave me fair warnin', all the folks in my town
They said, if you ain't gonna straighten up, we're gonna expel one clown
I said, now just a minute here, you can't do me this way
How far is it to the next town, I'm walking that way

Hard, hard headed me
Well, I spoke out of turn once too often
I'd be better off in my coffin
Hard headed me
