She'd Rather Be Homeless Lyrics - Bobby Bare

It was our 25th anniversary 

And I was watchin' the Super Bowl 

When suddenly she started cursin' me 

Hell I almost dropped my remote control 

And she said that's that 

And grabbed her hat 

And headed out into the snow 

And that was almost two long years ago 

Now see her shufflin' down the street 

Combat boots on her dainty feet 

Pushin' her belongings 

In a cart from the A&P 

See her bummin' cigarettes 

On the sidewalk where she sits 

Lord she'd rather be homeless 

Than here at home with me 

She'd rather be sleepin' in some doorway 

Than lollin' in the lap of luxury 

And when the cold wind starts to blow 

Lord it hurts me so 

To know she'd rather be homeless 

Than here at home with me 

She said all my friends were dumb 

And she called me yuppie scum 

She said she didn't give a damn 

'Bout my BMW, or my AT&T 

She said I could take these credit cards of mine 

And stick 'em where the sun don't shine 

'Cause she'd rather be homeless 

Than here at home with me 

I see her sittin' on her full length mink 

And as I walk by she winks 

Sayin' spare some change for a lady 

A lady who's finally free 

She don't want my bonds and stocks 

Livin' in her cardboard box 

Oh she'd rather be homeless 

Than here at home with me 

She'd rather eat soup down at the shelter 

Than at the country club sippin' fine Chablis 

And as I throw her a dime 

Lord it breaks this heart of mine 

To know she'd rather be homeless 

Than here at home with me 

Yeah she'd rather be homeless 

Than here at home with me
