Artist/Band: Mel Tillis
Lyrics for Song: Woman in the Back of My Mind
Lyrics for Album: Hitside! 1970-1979 [Raven] [2006]



(Ronal McCown - Roger Jauden)



I see my wife working ironing my shirts

And my mind goes to another day

And to another woman who might have been my wife

If things hadn't turned out this way.



Lord knows I love her and I often wonder

If hate should pull back the blind

How would my wife feel if she could see

The woman in the back of my mind.



Does she do things fancy does she have a family

Is she as happy as I

Does she spend her afternoons just playing bridge

Or baking her children a pie.



And I often wonder if she thinks of me

When she hears those old church beels chime

Though it's been long ago at times I miss her so

The woman in the back of my mind.



Suddenly I come back to right here and now

And the dream that I've seen come to life

And I hope she's as happy with somebody else

As I am with my loving wife.



I might have been wrong but it's been so long

And things work out in time

But I'd like to say I'm sorry once more

To the woman in the back of my mind...
