Standing On This Ground

You know I meant it when I said
That you ain’t welcome in my bed
The last time I caught you foolin’ around
I said don’t come here anymore
And now you shown up at my door
But I’m already standin’ on this ground

You been out most ev’ry night
Since our knock-down drag-out fight
I know you picked some new stray outta the pound
I can hear it in your voice
You know you’re leavin’ me no choice
And I’m already standin’ on this ground

   Once we had laughter
   A couple of tears
   You slow-played me right from the start
   But now maybe after
   A couple of beers
   You play fast and loose with my heart

I’d like to let you back inside
But it’s a matter of pride
You made a fool of me all over the town
And though I miss your stupid face
This ain’t the time, this ain’t the place
‘Cause I’m already standin’ on this ground

SOLO

   Once we had laughter
   A couple of tears
   You slow-played me right from the start
   But now maybe after
   A couple of beers
   You play fast and loose with my heart

You know I meant it when I said
That you ain’t welcome in my bed
The last time I caught you foolin’ around
And now you’re reapin’ what you sown
You made your bed, you sleep alone
‘Cause I’m already standin’ on this ground
