lyrics

Now, Jeanie was a waitress at a diner
Joey was a steam pipe fitter
The summers in North Dakota were green
And the winter time was bitter

They drove a car that was twenty years old
And rode into town together
Went to the pictures on Saturday night
Had a little house by the river

Now Jeanie was a sweet little thing
Joey had a history of anger
She had no idea when she said "I do."
That he would someday put her in danger

Domestic Silence, means words not spoken
Between two people soon to be broken

Many years they flowed by
And it appeared that they were alright
To their friends and their neighbors
Well they must have never heard the fights

Now, Joey wasn't much of a thinker
And he threw some punches down
But he was a dark and nasty drinker
One night he hit poor Jeanie around

He grabbed her by the hair
And bent her over a desk
So she took a pair of scissors
And stabbed him in the neck

You never know what you're looking at
Until you find out what happened
And sometimes crying
Takes the place of laughing

Domestic Silence, means words not spoken
Between two people soon to be broken
