Back Burner Woman Blues
I've got a back burner woman and I know
you'd never understand.
I've got a back burner woman and I know
you'd never understand.
Oh you know I love you, woman, but
I've got a back burner woman,
just in case you stray away.
I've got a back burner woman and I know
you'd never understand. (repeat)
She's there to understand me,
when you and I don't see eye to eye.
I'm there for her when her man
just treats her so bad.
I've got a back burner woman and I know
you'd never understand. (repeat)
She welcomes me in when your door is shut
and my clothes are thrown out in the yard.
You know I love you, woman, but you just don't
seem to care if I come or go.
(repeat)
You see, the thing that troubles me, woman,
is if you got a back burner man!
