I came back home with a jewel missing out of my crown

Let me inside, put my empty bags on the ground

Open this door, come on, I?m not messing around

I can?t believe I?m standing here, you used to call me proud



Well, believe me, I?ll be gone by the time you get back from work

I just left a few things I don?t want no one to get hurt



Just give me back my hammer, give me back my nail

Give me back my jeans and my J.J.Cale

Give me back my box with the quarter inch cable

And don?t forget my toothbrush and my table



You got a good thing going on I wouldn?t wanna take you away

Se la vie, so it goes dirty business or so they say

I know I done you wrong but here we are face to face

Boy, I sure am glad I don?t have to hang around this place



Well, believe me, baby, this ain?t fun or me neither

So get out of my way or I?ll start blasting cat scratch fever



Give me back my hammer, give me back my nail

Give me back my jeans and my J.J.Cale

Give me back my box with the quarter inch cable

And don?t forget my toothbrush and my table



I don?t care which way you think the story might have went

I?ve already recollected all the love I wish I had not spent

But baby, you know I paid more than my share of the rent

There ain?t nothing in my heart for you except a big ol?denkt



So try to pin it down, try to tear it up or try to get me gone

I?ll just need a few things for the road that I?ll be on



So give me back my hammer, give me back my nail

Give me back my jeans and my J.J.Cale

Give me back my box with the quarter inch cable

And don?t forget my toothbrush and my table



Give me back my hammer, give me back my nail

Give me back my jeans and my J.J.Cale

Give me back my box with the quarter inch cable

And don?t forget my toothbrush and my table
