SECOND PLACE 
(Jack Rhodes / Buddy Lackey)


Jean Shepard - 1969



Now come on all you good girls 
That wear a wedding band
If you think your man wants a lady
You better think that over again
Them gals with all that make-up on 
And throws theirselves around
They get more love in a single night 
Than we get the whole year round


So come on all you good girls
Let's stop this bein' good
If we're gonna keep the homefires burnin' at all
We got to pile on some kindlin' wood
Let's fan the flame and go down there
And met 'em face to face
Let's show them men what they left at home
'Cause we're windin' up in second place


(Instrumental Break)


I've had it, I can't take no more
Again my man is gone
This old discarded housewife
Is just a fixture in the home
Let's all joins hands and pile up our hair
And get both feet in this race
Let's throw the kinda party that'll run 'em home
'Cause we're windin' up in second place


So come on all you good girls
Let's stop this bein' good
If we're gonna keep the homefires a-burnin' at all
We got to pile on some kindlin' wood
Let's fan the flame and go down there
And met 'em face to face
Let's show them men what they left at home
'Cause we're windin' up in second place


Let's show them men what they left at home
'Cause we're windin' up in second place
