Louisville Slugger

Tomorrow she'll put make-up on the bruises

Tomorrow she'll be making up excuses

But I've known you since we were three, what makes you think you can lie to me!

And I'm trying to respect your privacy

Despite the fact that it's killing me!

You say you love him but I don't know why!

He beats you up

He don't provide

So you're stuck working doubles down at the local dive

Dodgin' dirty hands for a petty wage but you bottle up the rage 'cause you gotta survive

I got a Louisville Slugger in the back of my ride

Make the call and I'll be there by your side

Hey girl you don't have to take that shit from anybody

That sticky summer night in his backseat

He made you bleed

Planted his seed

Now you've got not one but two more mouths to feed

I know you wanted your kid to have a dad but name is not the same as deed

I know you know there's more to life than this

Taking the blame, the pain whenever he gets pissed!

Nothing stronger than a mother's love for her only kid

Except for maybe her battered bones, bruised by blows from his father's fists

I got a Louisville Slugger in the back of my ride

Make the call and I'll be there by your side

Hey girl you don't have to take that shit from anybody

Got a Louisville Slugger in the back of my ride

Say the word and I'll make him fucking cry!

You are my friend I will defend until the end

What happened to the girl that I once knew?

I remember way back when

When nobody could tell you what to do

Just sit there and let 'em turn the screws

Hey girl I've said my piece

The rest is up to you!

(I got a Louisville Slugger in the back of my ride)

Hey girl you gotta decide if this is how you gonna live your life

Trapped like a rat in a bad situation

Frozen by feelings of fear and frustration

(I got a Louisville Slugger in the back of my ride)

It's yours for the taking, your rage more than justified

Seeing red, black and blue and you know that it's true

Yeah, you know he won't stop 'til you're through!

I got a Louisville Slugger in the back of my ride

Make the call and I'll be there by your side

Hey girl you don't have to take that shit from anybody

(Got a Louisville Slugger in the back of my ride)

Say the word and I'll make him fucking cry!

You are my friend I will defend until the end
