Lonely Rudy (Louisa)

from Fourth Strike Song Jam 2021 by Fourth Strike Records

lyrics

(intro)
there is an old saying
the wicked never rest
well- god? he took the seventh
so i think that fails that test
but if that ain’t enough now,
another i’ll supply
for someone “spared of resting”
lonely rudy sure could lie

(verse 1)
oklahoma born and bred
high school sweetheart, newly wed
muscle car- the picture of “tough”
rudy on that wedding day
made a vow to always stay
but two weeks in one woman ain’t enough

(chorus 1)
oh rudy, lonely rudy
do all roads lead to roam?
you’ve got two precious children
and a lovely wife at home
life isn't a game, boy
do you still need to score?
you’ll lose what you’ve got
if you keep lookin’ out for more

(verse 2)
i’ll tell you now- i am that wife
swore to love him all my life
thought my man was faithful and true
he kept his secrets, four years long
couldn’t tell nothin’ was wrong
till he called me “luanne” and i just knew

(chorus 2)
oh rudy, lonely rudy
why did you have to roam?
were we lacking something in
this family and this home?
you’d tricked me long enough then
that i could not ignore
before long i knew i had to
settle up that score

(bridge)
he snuck back drunk late one night
woke our son, gave him a fright
and that? that was the last fucking straw
after that, well who can say?
i plead the fifth, and by the way,
it’s not that hard to evade the law
unlike rudy, i keep vows, i never lied
i swore that i would love him up until the day he died

(chorus 3)
oh rudy, lonely rudy
there’s nothing left to say
if you hadn’t been so lonely
you’d still be alive today
at least you helped me see it
your rotten heartless core
with the worms to keep you company
at least you won’t be lonely any more
