Well, it's 7 a.m. and she awoke by the radio Yeah, she rolled on over said, "Where did my man go?" She's been a gunslinger's wife all her life Now she fights when she's able For the sake of the kids When the knife's at their necks in the cradle She screams "I'll believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight" Well she's got all the kids and she's got all their uses But she loves them the same for neglect and abuses Well, she got a warm spot where they fought And they made up last evenin' He said, "Don't read too much into the fact that I'm leaving" She screams "I'll believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight" How do I explain this, how do I put this into words It's one thing or another but it's neither this nor that Actually it's a collection of things she said, "That's it, that's it, get out" Her mother said, "Kill him, slow at your leisure" Ah but desperate times call for desperate measures So she went to the closet and she pulled the old gun down "I'll put a bullet through his heart if he ain't home by sundown" Yeah, 5:55 he comes walking in the front door smiling He said, "Don't read too much into what I ain't denying" She screams "I'll believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight" Well, I believe in you Well, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe I believe in you, alright

    General Comment:I love the punchline, "I'll believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight". It made me wonder which one he was singing at first. The writing of this song sets it apart from other songs about the same subject. So does the instrumentation and vocalizing. This song rocks without a doubt.
