[Verse]
If I had a dollar for every time he tracked his dirty feet
'Cross my clean kitchen floor
I'd be like those girls in the magazines
I wouldn't be under his thumb no more
[Chorus]
Bible says, a woman oughta know her place
Mine's out here in the middle of all of this wide open space
Between all of this ropin' and ridin'
I might as well be hog-tied and strangled
I'm tired of wakin' up feelin' like I've been wrangled
[Verse]
Rather eat dirt than bake another prizewinning cherry pie
The girls down at church can go to hell
Ironin' shirts and keepin' babies quiet
Ain't no life, it's a living jail
[Chorus]
Bible says, a woman oughta know her place
Mine's out here in the middle of all of this wide open space
Between all of this ropin' and ridin'
I might as well be hog-tied and strangled
Tired of wakin' up feelin' like I've been wrangled
[Bridge]
He's real tight with the money
Keeps his truck runnin' like a top
And I've seen him go till his hands were bloody
He ain't the kind of man who knows how to stop
[Chorus]
Bible says, the woman oughta know her place
Mine's out here in the middle of all of this wide open space
Between all of this ropin' and ridin'
I might as well be hog-tied and strangled
Tired of wakin' up feelin' like I've been wrangled
Tired of wakin' up feelin' like I've been wrangled
