Backstory:

My mother used to say this to my dad all the time.                                                                                                                                  

Lyrics:

                                                  
V1
Kid number one bit someone he’s kicked out of school
Kid number two did something bad in the neighbors’ swimming pool
The house smells like a gym
My migraine’s kicking in
Senior center said that grandma ran away again
And he comes home 
wants his dinner wants his beer
I just whisper in his ear

Chorus
Your second wife will get it right
She will be wearing something pretty every night
She will not scream she’ll be serene
Your children will obey your house will be clean
Your second wife will be everything I’m not
But for tonight, I’m all you got

V2
I don’t think he heard me he’s still sitting in that chair
Hoping that his dinner will appear out of thin air
Suddenly, he’s up. He’s heading for the door.
Look upon his face I’ve never seen before
He’s in the truck. He just drives away.
I’ve got more to say

Chorus 2
Your second wife will get it right
Chicken fry and pecan pie it every night
She will not scream she’ll be serene
Your children will obey your house will be clean
Your second wife will be everything I’m not
But for tonight, I’m all you got

Bridge
I’m trying not to cry when I hear that screen door slam
He’s got roses and a pizza in his hand
He comes waltzin in and he’s got that stupid grin
And this is what he says that makes me fall in love again

Chorus 3
No, I don’t need no second wife
You’re the only one who gets it right
Go on and scream who needs serene
I love our messy house our crazy family
No second wife will ever be
For all my life
You’re all I need
Oh, ooooh
