You hadn't been in town much more than a week or two
When I saw you on a local country music show
You really made the crowd sit up and notice you
When you picked and sang a song that you had just composed
You came backstage and we were introduced
A few months later we were aware
It wasn't long till you had reached the top
But you took so many vows that it's gone to your head
So hang up your rhinestone suit, take out the trash
No matter how great the art, you can still cut the grass
We've got some bills and checks that need your famous autograph
So hang up your rhinestone suit, take out the trash
You'll never meet a fan who'll give you my support
Don't compare me with those girls in all the towns you've been
Just because I am your wife, don't sell me short
When I fell in love with you, your ship had not come in
When you get home from being on the road
You treat me like I am your maid
You never offer words of tenderness
When you take me in your arms, you act like you're on stage
So hang up your rhinestone suit, take out the trash
No matter how great the art, you can still cut the grass
And we've got some checks and bills that need your famous autograph
So hang up your rhinestone suit, take out the trash
Hang up your rhinestone suit, take out the trash
No matter how great the art, you can still cut the grass
And we've got some bills and checks that need your famous autograph
So hang up your rhinestone suit, take out the trash
Hang up your rhinestone suit, take out the trash
No matter how great the art, you can still cut the grass
