I discovered this song today. I have been listening over and over. Some words are hard to hear. Not sure about Heartbreaker and guarantee you tears. And the mattress has caught fire? Please let me know if you find the real lyrics.
You Don't Have To Hire a Wino
I'll give you mine for free
The one I've got I've had too long
Should suit you to a T
He's genuine, experienced
Been qualified for years
He's a real heartbreaker
Who can guarantee you tears
There's beer cans in the bedroom
the kitchen and the hall
Liquor Bottles on the shelf
Summer winter spring and fall
Our car is in the driveway
With kids from front to back
All caused by celebratin'
With a bottle or 6-pack
You Don't Have To Hire a Wino
I'll give you mine for free
The one I've got I've had too long
Should suit you to a T
He's genuine, experienced
Been qualified for years
He's a real heartbreaker
Who can guarantee you tears
The carpet on the floor is stained
the table tops are burned
the mattress has caught fire
Still He shows no concern
I've even sported black eyes
every now and then
And each time that
I want to leave
He'd beat me up again
You Don't Have To Hire a Wino
I'll give you mine for free
The one I've got I've had too long
Should suit you to a T
He's genuine, experienced
Been qualified for years
He's a real heartbreaker
Who can guarantee you tears
Our bank account is overdrawn
Our bills are all past due
Our Landlord has notified
That we must move out too
You don't need to hire a wino,
I'll give you mine for free
