George Jones
"Somebody Wants Me Out Of The Way"

Somebody keeps paying my bar tab
But the bartender won't tell me who
He gives me six cold ones, to go when he closes
And slips me a dollar or two.

My woman is keeping me busy
And I'm afraid to go ask her why
But the more I keep drinking
The more I keep thinking
There's somebody new in her life.

Chorus:
Somebody wants me out of the way
And I bet I'll find out when I go home today
Here comes the waitress with a loaded down tray
Somebody wants me out of the way.

Now my woman is under suspicion
And all I can see in my mind
It's two cheating lovers who love under cover
And the covers they're under is mine.

Chorus:
Somebody wants me out of the way
And I bet I'll find out when I go home today
Here come the waitress with a loaded down tray
Somebody wants me out of the way.

Somebody wants me out of the way....
