The Del McCoury Band – Snake in the House Lyrics

Folk

The door stood wide open
He knew there was something wrong
He ran through the house
And found that she was gone
It looked like a Texas twister
Had cut a path through there
He found these words in lipstick
On the bathroom mirror

There's a snake in the house
And he's been shedding skin
Leaving behind
Signs of where he's been
Now I'm telling you
If it's the last thing that you do
There's a snake in the house
Get it out

Now right below these words
Piled up in the sink
He saw his shirt with lipstick on it
A color cheating pink
And a bill from a room
That he signed Mr. Smith
But the way he signed the dotted line
Is something that she can't miss

There's a snake in the house
And he's been Shedding skins
Leaving behind signs of where he's been
Now I'm telling you
If it's the last thing that you do
There's a snake in the house
Get it out

Ain't no way around it
It's the poison kind
Just one bite to kill true love every time

There's a snake in the house
And he's been shedding skin
Leaving behind
Signs of where he's been
Now I'm telling you
Make this the last thing that you do
And before I get back
Get out
