She spent seventeen years in a double-wide prison
Bed to a drunk, doin' hard time, shuttin' up, walkin' that line
All she ever heard was "Fix my dinner ... Do them dishes ... Wash my clothes ... Don't talk back ... Put your black shades back on"
'Til one night she spiked his Jack with some pills and waited 'til his lights went out
And duct taped him to his chair, rolled him up, said a prayer, slapped a double strip on his mouth
The old rooster crowin', his blood-shot eyes open
Too-pissed-off wife with a Colt 45 blowin' smoke from a cowboy killin'
The upper hand showin' and with a smile she told him: "Silence is golden"
Duct tape is silver
