Throw Your Hat In First Lyrics - Norma Jean

Yeah baby I got your letter I knew you're right 

I knew you wanna come home to me some cold and lonely night 

You say you'll be a good boy if I'll just hold you tight 

But I'm torn between one that kiss your lips and shootin' you dead on side 

So you better throw your hat in first when you come home 

Give me time to stump the floor and scream and curse 

Then if I don't throw without bout a count to ten 

Come on in and lave me baby but throw your hat in first 

[ steel - fiddle ] 

Yeah baby I've thought about you ten thousand times 

Cried for you till I was sure I'd lost my fever mind 

But love and hate are seperated by such a tender line 

It's hard to tell when you get home just what you're gonna find 

So you better throw your hat... 

Come on in and lave me baby but throw your hat in first
