Lyrics: Hard Headed Me
Album: The Return Of Roger Miller
Artist: Roger Miller
 

Well he gave me fair warning, he said let him alone,
But l’d had one too many, and refused to go home,
Then l said something awful, and then so did he,
And he hit me and it hurt, mm, and my eyes couldn’t see

Hard, hard headed me, l spoke out of turn once too often,
L’d be better off in my coffin, hard headed me

Well she gave me fair warning, many times my wife said,
She said if you aim to keep me, cut your foolhardy ways
L said now listen woman, you’d better leave me alone
How long is forever, that’s how long she’ll be gone

Hard, hard headed me, l spoke out of turn once too often,
L’d be better off in my coffin, hard headed me

The they gave me fair warning, all the folks in my town,
They said if you ain’t gonna straighten up
We’re gonna expel one clown
L said now just a minute here, you can’t do me this way
How far is it to the next town, l’m walking that way

Hard, hard headed me, l spoke out of turn once too often,
L’d be better off in my coffin, hard headed me
