Julie

When I married Julie she was just seventeen
Pretty as the answer to any man's dream
From the start I gave Julie all the love that I had
But ev'ryone told me that Julie was bad

For Julie liked parties and clothes that fit tight
Drinkin' and dancin' and out late at night
She was ev'rything evil with the face of a child
And I sat home and waited while my Julie went wild
(Julie went wild Julie went wild)

I built an empire with my own two hands
Power and money to break any man
But with all my possessions power and gold
Julie was one thing I couldn't control

Though I gave Julie all my money could buy
And begged her to love me but she wouldn't try
For she'd only laugh as she'd walk out the door
Each time she'd hurt me made me love her more
(He loved her more he loved her more)

I couldn't sleep until Julie got home
Last night she came in but wasn't alone
The things that I heard I could hardly believe
As her and the stranger made plans to leave

Without my Julie why I just couldn't live
And this is one thing I know I could never forgive
So I wait with a pistol the bullets just three
One for the stranger Julie and me
One for the stranger Julie and me
