From The Lazy Sunday Dream album Midsland

Where have you been she screams in his face

Holding her breath and then holding her pace

Honey I know that look in your eye

You better make up some damn good lies

Honey I had to work till late

Hey don't make me laugh it's a quarter past eight

Baby you haven't been sleeping home tonight

You better make sure your alibi´s right

And the married man, he goes out every night

It's a pity she knows how much he lies

He's got two kids, a dog and a wife

A family man needs a family life

Married man he get´s fat and bald

He needs a proof he ain't grown too old

for the beautiful ladies

The married man don´t love her no more

Her place in his heart resembles a sore

But a divorce aint good for the kids

So he decided to keep it all hid

Like most of the men of his age he wonders

How to get out of the burden he´s under

He needs a girl to fit the dress

He bought for his wife, in ´65

And the married man died a long long time ago

When he said yes he should have said no

Bought himself a big fat Cadillac

With two fine girls sitting in the back

Make a big crash against a tree

And all of the girls go shouting

We never gonna get married
