Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere

I’m here and I intend to stay,
Gonna be right here the live long day;
You can kick me, you can whip me, you can call me names,
You can knock me down,
But I won’t go away.

Sittin’ here lookin’ out at the sea;
I been watchin’ you a watchin’ me,
You’re sadly mistaken if you think I’m gonna leave;
My stubborn ass is planted
Right here in this seat.

CHORUS:

What I’m sayin’ you better believe,
Ain’t nobody wanna stay with you but me;
You’re the meanest woman, Lord, I’ve ever seen;
Oh but, woman,
You’re not near as mean as me.

BREAK

When we’re walkin’ down the street,
People step aside and let us be;
They don’t want to mess with you and sure don’t want to mess with me;
We lead a peaceful life
‘Cause we’re so doggone mean.

Well, I won’t leave and neither will you,
Lord knows ain’t nobody else for us will do;
We’re two mean old bastards, you know it’s true -
But you love me
And, darlin’, I love you.

Chorus
