Three things drive a man out of his house - smoke, rain and a scolding wife.
Related quotes
Smoke, rain, and a scolding wife, are three bad things in a house.
Three things drive a man outdoors; smoke, a leaking roof and a scolding wife.
Smoke, a dripping roof, and a scolding wife, are enough to drive a man out of his life.
Drive
I know it's late now I know I
Ought to go
Ride in your car now
But please don't drop me home
My head's so heavy
Could
This be all a dream
Promise me
Maybes and say things
You don't mean
Rain fall from concrete colored skies
No boy don't speak now
You just drive
Drive
Drive
Take me through make me feel alive
Alive
When I ride with you
Keep my heart turning on
Axles around you
Keep our love burning just
Like it used to do
Now just for us
They could
Play our favourite tune
Let's not discuss
All these
Things we can't undo
Let rain fall from concrete coloured skies
No boy don't speak now
You just drive
Drive
Drive
Speed me through
Make me feel alive
Alive
When I ride with you
Rain fall from concrete coloured skies
No boy don't speak now
You just drive

Dont Drive Drunk
He and his wife have had problems
That hes played off like nothings wrong
til he comes home from work early
Just to find the girl is gone
Oh but he gets into the cupboard
Picks out that bottle of gin
Drinks like theres no tomorrow
And decides to take a spin
No dont drive drunk
Dont drive drunk, no
Dont drive drunk
Mothers against drunk drivers are mad
Teenager at a live party
Says, give me one for the road
But hes already so inebriated
If you lit a smoke hed explode
But bartender says, I dont think so
Young one says, I can deal
Staggering out he says, check you all later
But I really dont think he will
No dont drive drunk
Dont drive drunk, no
Dont drive drunk
Mothers against drunk drivers are mad
(repeat)
(background)
Dont drive drunk
D-d-d dont drive drunk
Dont drive drunk
Hicup
(repeat)
Boy out with girl on their first date
Gets pulled over by the law
Officer says, hey cant you drive straight
Or have you been drinking alcohol?
Boy says, man are you crazy?
Cop says, hey then walk this line
But results from the breathalizer
Proves hes charged with d.u.i.
No dont drive drunk
Dont drive drunk, no
Dont drive drunk
Mothers against drunk drivers are mad
(repeat)
(background)
Dont drive drunk
D-d-d dont drive drunk
Dont drive drunk
Hicup

So Much Things To Say
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yey
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why
Why, Why, heh
They've got so much things to say right now
They've got so much things to say
They've got so much things to say right now
They've got so much things to say
I'll never forget no way, how they crucified Jesus Christ
I'll never forget no way, how they sold Marcus Garvey for rice
I'll never forget no way, how they turned their back on Paul Bogle
So don't you forget no way...
Who you are, and where you stand in the struggle
They've got so much things to say right now
They've got so much things to say
They've got so very many things, to say right now
They've got so much things to say
I'n'I nah come to fight flesh and blood
But spiritual wickedness in high and low places
And don't you fight me down
I'll stand firm, and give Jah all the thanks and praises
I don't expect to be justified, by these laws of men
Though the we can find me guilty, Jah will proove my innocency
Cuz when the rain falls, it don't, fall on one man's house top
Remember that
See when this rain falls, it don't, fall on one man's house top
They've got so much things to say right now
They've got so much, so much things to say
They've got, heh, so much things to say right now
They've got so, so much things to say
But let them keep talking, oh let them keep talking
Cuz non of them walking, oh non of them walking, no
And while they still talking, see I'ma be walking
I'ma be walking, so let them keep talking
Said I never forget no way, how they crucified Jesus Christ
And I, I'll never forget, how they sold Marcus Garvey for rice
Said I, never forget, how they turned their backs on Paul Bogle
So non of you, non of you forget...
Who you are, and where you stand in the struggle
Cuz when this rain, cuz when this rain, rain, rain, rain, rain falls
It don't fall on one man's house, I'm telling you the rain...
I'm telling you the rain, rain, rain, rain, rain don't fall
It don't fall... they...
They've got, they've got, so many very things to say about me
I'm telling you: lie
They, and they, and they will have so many things
They'll have so many things to say about you... to say about you
Cuz they don't know me, know me
They don't know me, oh they don't know me, oh they don't know me
Oh they don't know me well
They, they, they, they, they, they, they don't know my Father
Cuz if they did, if they did... hey ey... theeey... heh..

Smoke, floods, and a troublesome wife, are enough to drive a man out of his life.
Smoke, stench, and a troublesome wife are what drive men from home.
Water, smoke, and a vicious woman, drive men out of the house.
Deja Vu
I have been here before
and seen these sights
along this shore.
And yet before today
I have never passed this way.
Whence comes this memory
That I hold so crystal clear.
That red house those willow trees/.
I know not from what source springs.
My recognition of these things.
I only know it was mere chance
I chose to drive along this coast
Was it fate or circumstance?
That brought me here today to see.
These scenes familiar to me.
Or did I live another life
Before the one I’m living now
And did I have a loving wife
And friends and family,
Someone who might remember me.
But NO I must not think that way
I can disturb no ones peace
I must drive on I cannot stay/
And yet and yet I will recall
This as the strangest day of all.

Whos That Man
(toby keith)
Turn left at the old hotel
I know this boulevard much too well
It hasnt changed since I been gone
Oh, this used to be my way home
They paved the road thru the neighborhood
I guess the county finally fixed good
It was gettin rough
Someone finally complained eneogh
Fight the tears back with a smile
Stop and look for a little while
Oh its plain to see
The only thing missing is me
Thats my house & thats my car
Thats my dog in my back yard
Theres the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
Thats my kids and thats my wife
Whose that man, runnin my life
If I pulled in would it cause a seen
There not really expectin me
Those kids have been thru hell
I hear they adjusted well
Turn around in the neigbors drive
Id be hard to recognise
In this pick-up truck
Its just an old fixer up
Drive away one more time
Lot of things going thru my mind
I guess the less things change
The more they never seem the same
Thats my house & thats my car
Thats my dog in my back yard
Theres the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
Thats my kids and thats my wife
Whose that man, runnin my life

Taxi Suite (excerpt: 1. After Anacreon)
When I drive cab
I am moved by strange whistles and wear a hat
When I drive cab
I am the hunter. My prey leaps out from where it
hid, beguiling me with gestures
When I drive cab
all may command me, yet I am in command of all who do
When I drive cab
I am guided by voices descending from the naked air
When I drive cab
A revelation of movement comes to me. They wake now.
Now they want to work or look around. Now they want
drunkenness and heavy food. Now they contrive to love.
When I drive cab
I bring the sailor home from the sea. In the back of
my car he fingers the pelt of his maiden
When I drive cab
I watch for stragglers in the urban order of things.
When I drive cab
I end the only lit and waitful things in miles of
darkened houses
One’s drive
I should marry such a woman
As others would envy me my wife.
I should attain such a position
As others would envy me my place.
I should construct such a building
As others would envy me my house.
In absence of others, I have no drive.
Envy, not love, influences one’s drive.

February Rain
To be the mud, the bog, the mire;
To soak the bones in February –
Eons from the autumn shower–
Even from a summer berry!
Sparrows chirp a desperate call,
Darting questions at the cows –
Oblivious to the dousing squall, they
Churn the sludge with pastern ploughs.
The crying air was lost in rhythm:
Drums incessant in the drops;
Not a chance for rainbow prism –
Even if the hammering stops!
Metallic chills entrap machines –
Tractors hushed within the shed.
Inside the house, a full cuisine
To bless with mead – and little said!
But out across the tiring field,
A sodden fox is hunting down
His prey of sorts – but nil of yield;
Perhaps he’ll starve; perhaps he’ll drown.
Still the clouds are hammering,
Hammering home their dreary aim –
A chatterbox in constant yammering,
Drenching all to make a claim.

Astonishing Forest
Where the house filled with living
The house continuously giving
Where the house filled with nature
The house filled with adventure
Anything can survive
With the nature it provides
Where the house filled with grass
The house filled with hedges, bushes and plants
Canopy trees be it rain or shine
Will be there for you at any time
Where the green house filled with fresh air
Will shelter you in the heavy rain
O the house of beauty
O the house of sound
So much variety is yet to be found

If there's God why I die
‘’Is there God then why I die’’
Wife of ant says
‘’ Why wife of ant says if there’s God
Why I die, filthy feminine house I will
Burn down and leave’’
God says
‘’Is there God then why my children die’’
Wife of ant says’’
‘’Why wife of ant says if there’s God
Why my children die, filthy clitorising rain giraffe, I will sow seed of hairy itching grass under her feet, will grow to waist’’
God says
Wife ant opened her head to sun
She asks
‘’ Is there anything worst on earth than
Soaking of my waist in mourning tears for years
Wuw nothing’’
God rubbed his nose, nguu….
Says ‘’I will see who’s strong
Me or wife of ant
Ninety days later
Wife of man whom God nickname as ant
Whelped puppy
Strange, horrible and unnatural
‘’O God, why my wife give to puppy’’
Man prayed
‘’ To teach your wife lesson
So tomorrow she’ll not mock me again
If she attempt, I wipe off her eyes in world
And her seed will not grow on earth
My land’’
God says

Driving Rain
One, two, three, four, five, lets go for a drive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, lets go there and back again, oohh
Somethings open an its my heart
Somethings missing its when, apart
Somethings good its when were, back together again
A nothings wrong its just insane
Nothings right until your, back again
Nothings broken when its, softly spoken
And, walkin slowly down the lane
Why dont we drive in the rain
Straight throught eye of the hurricane
Go a ride in the driving rain
One, two, three, four, five, lets go for a drive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, oohhew
One, two, three, four, five, lets go for a drive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Ya lets go there and back again, baby, baby
You come walkin through my door
Like the one that Ive been waiting for
Letting sunshine in the darkest place when
Ive been going back there again
So why dont we drive in the rain
Straight throught eye of the hurricane
Why dont we drive in the rain
Straight throught eye of the hurricane
Go a ride in the driving rain
One, two, three, four, five, lets go for a drive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, oohhew
One, two, three, four, five, lets go for a drive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Lets go there and back again, baby, baby
Oh the driving rain
Why do we drive in the driving rain
One, two, three, four, five, oohh
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, oh lets go back again
One, two, three, four, five, lets go for a drive
Aj six, seven, eight, nine, ten, oh lets go back again
Who come walkin through my door
Like the one that Ive been waiting for

Open war is harmless
His assault on his wife,
Her scolding of her husband-
Where these occur as common
There arises no infidelity.
He is decent to his wife.
She is polite to her husband-
Where there prevails silence
There is the chance of infidelity.
Love stays where anger empties;
Love sneaks out where cracks hide.

Drive Away
(phil vassar, charlie black)
Things are too simple, things are too hard
Nobodys happy with the way things are
Looking for the quick fix, the short term loan
Got to rent cause you might not be here long enough to own
The way I see it the trouble with the world these days
Its getting way to easy just to drive away
With you and me baby, its up and down
Were moving the earth or were on shaky ground
We talk about forever when its all going smooth
Or moving out tomorrow if things dont improve
Well the way I see it, the trouble with love these days
Its getting way to easy just to drive away
And you can drive away
If youve got half a mind to and half a tank you can drive away
First sign of trouble, first little thing goes wrong
You can climb in your car and drive til youre gone
Whatever weve got its worth the risk
To read a little promise into every kiss
You pay for the music, but you do get to dance
When you love somebody its not that big a chance
The way I see it weve got every reason to stay
And every reason to go together if we drive away
And we can drive away
If we need to start again, thats ok we can
Drive away
till we find that place where we can live on faith
That well never again have to drive away
