Lyrics and vocal melodies
Written By Alexis Patrick in Autumn of 2024
Find another punchin' bag,
Got my stuff, I'm movin' out
I see you have a new hag
I'm movin' out, I'm movin' out
You need your head examined
Oo, there's no doubt
Gimme back my Guitar,
I don't like how you play
I say, gimme back my Guitar,
I don't like how you play
I have had enough of you
Oo, I'm gonna run away
Bridge;
Common Law Blues, Just bad news
You lit the fuse with your Common Law Blues
I overpaid my dues, to your Common Law Blues
I'm gonna tell your Daddy
'Bout all the bad things that you've done
Oh, I'm gonna tell your Papa
'Bout the bad things that you've done
When he sees my black eye
He's gonna come undone
Bridge;
Common Law Blues, Just bad news
You lit the fuse with your Common Law Blues
I overpaid my dues, to your Common Law Blues
I overpaid my dues to your Common Law Blues
