Lyrics for Song: My Heart Won't Wander Very Far From You
Lyrics for Album: Ocean Front Property [MCA] [1987]
(Arnette Cotter - Buddy Carvathe)
Well, honey don't you worry
I don't need no barroom queens.
Well, I admit she sure knows
How to fill a pair of jeans.
And I'll admit now darlin'
She sure is showing me her stuff,
But honey, it ain't nearly enough.
Chorus:
'Cause I ain't never seen her
Patch a pair of ragged britches,
Stretch a paycheck till it reaches,
Scratch my back right where it itches.
And I ain't never seen that and honey, till I do
My heart won't wander very far from you.
Now honey, you know I honor
All the hard times we've been through.
I never could've made it
With anyone but you.
And I think I know when
A lady is really, really tough,
But she don't show me nearly enough.
Chorus:
'Cause I ain't never seen her
Stay up all night with a baby,
Calm me down when I get crazy,
Fix me grits and red-hot gravy.
I ain't never seen that and honey, till I do
My heart won't wander very far from you.
--- Instrumental ---
No, I ain't never seen her
Make a six-room house a castle,
Teach the young one how to wrestle,
Straighten out my fishin' tackle.
And I ain't never seen that
And honey, till I do
My heart won't wander very far from you.
No, I ain't never seen that
And honey, till I do
My heart won't wander very far from you...
